I just got an update that puts a persistent copilot overlay in the corner of Excel, blocking my cells. and the same update seems to have added a context menu that shows up on left click on a squiggle word in Word, which again blocks my document unnecessarily. I use neither of these features. I want neither of these features. I want to use the fucking program to do my goddamn work
That little floating copilot icon in excel is the devil’s work. I’m not a violent person but whoever came up with that should be flogged (IDK what flogging is but it sounds appropriate lol).
Conversely, being forced to use Excel with Copilot is the traditional punishment for unwarrantedly flogging somebody (you need to get consent first, mmkay?).
scales back?

“Guys, we’re scaling back on AI! Honest! Isn’t this great publicity?!”
“Also, totally unrelated… but today we’re launching SchmoPilot Assistant for Notepad!”

Flogging is a form of punishment where you get whipped.

On my work laptop, Notepad used to have Copilot built in but now it doesn’t. So that’s a little scaling back
