It's a 356 kilobyte file for now.

I'm mainly complaining it's a stupid ass way of microsoft making their bloatware tracking operating system complete. There is no good reason for them to put this stuff in notepad instead of, again, where it belongs and where 99.000 other features to juggle your texts around have been put before: Word, O365.

The amount of code required client-side for interacting with an AI's API is a few hundred lines at most. I've done it myself, with actual real software projects, so I know how this works. There's no reason to expect that AI integration would cause Notepad to become significantly larger.

Microsoft might make other changes, sure, but that's a separate issue.
