The fever of artificial intelligence does not stop outside, but especially inside Microsoft, its products and services. Last, desktop effects for windows 11 created using this technology. Of course, at the moment it is a pending initiative, which is not even clear that it will be implemented. But when the river sounds…

And it is that the river of artificial intelligence applied to consumer technology has been playing for a long time, with the software giant being one of its strongest supporters of some data to this part. It’s not just ChatGPT on Bing: the company released a million dollars to OpenAI, under which ChatGPT is being developed, to integrate it into everything else. Literally: Bing, but also Office, Windows, Azure… One could say that the sky is the limit.

However, this news is of a different kind, as it is not about implementing an assistant – after all, almost all AI-based solutions that Microsoft deploys are broadly described in this way – but equipping the Windows desktop somehow advanced effects based on artificial intelligence, Yeah. Or so they claim to have discovered in one of the latest development builds of the system.

According to the story, curious users would find links like «Depth Effects», «Parallax Background» or «Wallpaper Motion»; or what is the same, links to depth effects and desktop animations, taking care of names, somewhat similar to those seen on mobile phones. In fact, there are already samples of it in Windows 11, where there are samples of the Parallax effect, that is, the one that reacts to the movement of the device.

At the moment yes, they are only mentions that no one has been able to prove yet and most likely they have little space for regular users of the Microsoft operating system in the short and even medium term, and that even if they become desktop features, it is already noted that they will not be available to everyone … for purely technical reasons: the old x86 architecture is not ready for such bragging.

Be that as it may, this is another clue where the Redmonds are looking: just yesterday we were working on a Windows 12 that could be intelligent, and while it all sounds interesting, it’s also a bit of an exaggeration. At this rate, sooner rather than later we’ll see WinAI appear and that’s it. Or maybe, as it happens with the Metaverse, it’s all a lot rawer than it seems.
