How do I turn off Copilot in Word documents?
I can't believe there are aren't more people complaining about copilot ruining Microsoft Word completely. I can't do a single thing without that annoying copilot getting in the way of what I wanted to do and there is no way to remove it and it is absolutely ridiculous and totally frustrating. I am not very technical and I have not really got the capacity to follow anything too technical in terms of removing this. It certainly doesn't look like a simple process from what I have read here. If anyone's got any ideas about how we can put pressure on Microsoft to make it easy not to have copilot then that would be fantastic. I wonder if anyone is interested in launching legal action against word because this is pretty unfair and really damaging to one's mental health. I think it would be an interesting claim. I've got a law degree and a little bit of spare time for something worthy like this. I'm based in Australia though.
Problem is the people who wrote the software for copilot may have had software skills, but that doesn't mean they had business skills.
As others have pointed out, Academics are supposed to present material to the public without any assistance. from others.
Students submitting their work will have the same problem; many industries will be disadvantaged.
You could try writing to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, which administers the Competition and Consumer Act 2010.
This Act addresses Unconscionable Conduct like gouging credit cards, taking monthly payments until the "subscription" expires.
