Microsoft says it's making 'every Windows 11 PC an AI PC' with a dizzying array of Copilot upgrades, including voice activation

A Microsoft Copilot app homepage, for Andy.

Microsoft has released a blog update detailing a raft of upcoming upgrades to Copilot, including the addition of voice activation, so you can merrily shout "Hey Copilot" at your PC and receive a response from the MS AI tool, among other things. Cool. What's slightly troubling, however, is its declaration that it's "making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC."

Oh fiddlesticks. Don't make me go through all this again. The term 'AI PC' has always been a struggle to define, ranging from Microsoft's earlier assertion that an AI PC must have an NPU with at least 45 TOPS of processing power to meet the qualification (that rules out most AMD-chipped desktop machines, then) to whether it's got a physical Copilot button on the keyboard.
