    You could just click yes, do whatever two minute intro it has and then ignore the feature forever from there.

    Instead you click no every time and complain that it pops up again the next time, knowing that it’ll pop up again tomorrow

    Listen I hate these tools too but you have a solution here that’ll make it so the tool will stop pestering you so that you can truly ignore it.

      I suspect “yes” comes with strings attached, which is why I’m sticking to the other option. But it’s likely I already agreed to the strings when I agreed to my company’s demand that we use Teams.

      Also I don’t want to give some manager at Microsoft the satisfaction of adding my click on “Yes” to their stats.

        Bingo. The licenses were agreed to when the product was purchased, not when you click “yes, ok, show me the tutorial”

        I mean it sucks and I don’t use these tools either despite them being forced into my work machine, but if you’re getting psychic damage every morning bc the pop up you could just click through it and ignore the shit tools from there. That’s all I’m saying, your sanity is worth clicking a few buttons.

      That yes button is a license agreement to spy on your professional messaging and there is probably no way to undo it. Go look up what hoops lawyers had to jump through when Word added no opt-out AI. Microsoft doesn’t understand how to make applications for the end user, their only concern is selling cloud compute tokens.

        ITT people seem to assume that but no one has yet offered any amount of proof. I hope my company isn’t relying on everyone clicking “Maybe later” to prevent spying on professional messaging. That would be a huge lawsuit vector for Microsoft if that were the case. And if your company is cool with MS spying on messages, MS is going to spy on messages no matter what you click, and they were already doing it before any click.

        This is incorrect, the license agreement is accepted upon purchase and provisioning to users. You, as a user, clicking through the onboarding tutorial is not the license agreement.

        It’s a work computer and your it team and legal department has already approved usage of these tools. Sure, you do whatever you think is right but your company has already agreed to that license. You are already bound by it through your employment and usage of employer provided tools

            Great. Sorry for confusing you with my vague “your company did x” in my previous reply. I was trying to refer to the OP commenter I replied to in this thread. If a feature is enabled and provisioned to you, it’s largely true that your company has already accepted the license agreement for you to use it. I wish my company didn’t shove ai everywhere but many are and as employees (in the US atelast) we don’t have any ability to not agree to these terms.

      Sadly, in many of these programs, Copilot will start collecting data if you enable it. And send it to Microsoft, obviously.

        It’s a work computer (it has teams on it). It’s already enabled and collecting data as approved by the IT team. Why do you care?
