Microsoft Paywalls Its AI Features in Notepad and Paint

Microsoft postedsome detailsabout the new AI features on one of its blogs back in November.

Features that are not accessible due to a lack of a subscription may be grayed out in the apps.

A representative for Microsoft said the company had no additional comment.

“This makes delivering new AI features for free a loss-making proposition,” Bala told CNET.

“This goes beyond Microsoft.

“Companies are going to be experimenting with other forms of resource usages such as number of sessions.”

Not all of Microsoft’s AI efforts have been met with enthusiasm from users.
