       | Increasing scaling does improve text sizes for visibility.

       | 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 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...

       | What is with these comments? Fixating on scaling being similar to
       | text size is missing the entire god damn point by a mile. Are

       | 
       | 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.
