Microsoft’s endgame is being the lord and master of AI. AI thrives on knowing more data about the user. What good is an assistant if it doesn’t know your habits, your wishes and desires, your schedule and your attitude towards each person in your life?
This is not really a feature primarily aimed at helping the user directly, but to have the AI build up a repository of knowledge about you. Which is hopefully used locally only. For now this seems to be the case, but knowing Microsoft, once they have established themselves as the leading product they will start monetising it in every way possible.

I don’t think it will.

Thank fuck.
Though they’ll make opt-out soon enough, when the backlash has dwindled down.
