I was asked by a family member why it was taking so long to paste something large into a new Microsoft Word document on their computer, I sarcastically replied it was because it takes a while to upload it all to the copilot AI nonense first. And then I realized accidentally I might be right...I disabled copilot in Word and it went back to being instant again

So that's cool that Microsoft seems uploading everything you paste into a new Word doc to their servers now.

Wait a sec.
Do you mean to tell me that they're uploading it *synchronously* and make you wait for the response before they render the pasted text on the page?

@TechTangents
Did you check network traffic to confirm?

I'm very curious now.
Although I guess not curious enough to install Ms word anywhere.
