#14please can we have a no AI button perhaps with regulation even when using AI if someone does not want it temporarily it can be toggled off but they need AI was used by X % of users and millions of times metrics for promo so NO
There is a crude version of such a button but it might no be what you want: the No Microsoft button. It behaves just like its siblings, the No Google, No Apple and all the other No ${undesirable_company} buttons. As long as you allow any of those companies access to your data they will be used for whatever purposes they consider beneficial to their competitiveness and/or bottom lines. Should this be found it it generally was a 'mistake' which will be 'rectified' and the dance continues. The only way to win this game is to refuse playing it, How a bout a nice game of chess?

AI LLMs are not profitable because they are not the product, we are the product (our data - our information, our privacy, our identity, our needs, our desires, our family photos/videos, etc.).
So no, the AI "feature" cannot be turned off, because it needs to be active and continuously spying on us and leeching our data to "train" them to spy better and more intrusively.
All so we get targeted ads everywhere that are more tightly coupled to our lives, and so our lives can be dictated, controlled and exploited by the powers that be.

#16I switched entirely to Libreoffice a few years ago and am still waiting to slam into that "this feature is only found in real MS Office" wall that everybody told me was coming.
I don't think I'm going to switch back over OneDrive or Copilot integration.

#18The detrimental influence of "Satya" (why do people like Bibi and Satya always have the cute names for sympathy?) continues. He is a horrible person:

#19It really does seem like Microsoft is intentionally making the lives of their users difficult, like they're trying to win some sort of malevolent contest.

#20We should start calling it “the hallucinator”
Can you imagine how this is going to look when the first excel hallucinations start cropping up?
