Microsoft Keeps on Giving (and Taking). The return of Clippy!!!

Microsoft is intent on getting you to use CoPilot. In brief we can refer to CoPilot as Microsoft AI. Whereas I hate using the term Artificial Intelligence, since although it is artificial, it is not intelligent, I would prefer the term MS LLM (Large Language Model).


All Windows users had a sudden toolbar addition added to their PC's for CoPilot (BTW, you can get rid of it!). Apparently, that wasn't not enough, so MS is putting CoPilot in 365 Versions of Office, whether you want it or not. In addition, they're going to charge you an additional fee for it, which may be based on one's usage of the service.
Although you may be indifferent to this new feature, some may find it intrusive like Microsoft's famous Clippy service, which would often interrupt your work process with suggestions, etc.

You can opt out of this new service integration, but only temporarily. Read the article below about your opt-out options, which involve making a change to your subscription to an Office classic plan.
