> But even still, the user had asked how to change the size of text, not the UI.

This seems like nitpicking to try and get a gotcha moment. Most normal people who think text is too small at an OS level want the whole display scaled, not just the text. They don’t know to ask for display scaling though, that isn’t a normal thing grandma knows about.

    That's what I thought.

    That's exactly how a "normal" user would ask such things.

    I am not a Microsoft fan, or copilot, or even an A.I. fan, but the article seems to try too hard to find a problem here.

    That's not like we don't have real examples around...

Surprised their ads don't show customers getting pissed about a huge, distracting Copilot icon right in the middle of their Word document, with no ability to turn it off...

Increasing scaling does improve text sizes for visibility.

What is with these comments? Fixating on scaling being similar to text size is missing the entire god damn point by a mile. Are y'all MSFT employees or windows Stockholm syndrome victims?

Someone on Twitter said it best, you ask the AI to bump the font size, it should bump the fucking font size (or scale the whole UI, whatever! Again, not the point!). Showing off an AI that can't do that, or can't even guide you without you constantly reprompting it is so fucking embarrassingly bad, I seriously question holding a third of my NW in MSFT. Staggeringly impressively stupidly bad.
