AI in Notepad: Microsoft’s new ‘Rewrite’ tool comes with a caveat

Microsoft Notepad, one of the oldest apps to ship with Windows is getting a new feature that will allow users to rewrite text using generative AI. However, the feature is currently limited to Windows 11 Insider builds.

In a blog post, Microsoft said that the new Rewrite feature in Windows Notepad is powered by an AI model called GPT and that apart from rephrasing text, it can also help the tone and modify the length of the content depending on user preferences.
