How do I turn off Copilot in Word documents?
Incredibly, even after I have already "cancelled" to get rid of the AI add on, MS have unilaterally done this again.
Are they just going to keep changing my plan every few months even when I change it back?
If it hasn't been mentioned in the thread already, and I am not sure what Microsoft's reasoning is behind all of this,
but if you go to the manage subscription option on your account, and then go to cancel your subscription, on the landing page there will be an option for Microsoft Office 365 Family Classic, with a button that allows you to switch to that tier, not only does this get rid of the AI but it keeps the price the same for next year.
It's just really inane that it's only available on that page.
I was shown this from a Reddit thread that I will link to in reply because I'm not sure if it'll get flagged doing it in this response.

Thank you so much for explaining this. I just did the same. I absolutely hate how all of this GenAI is forced onto us, often with no recourse. At least this has this option for a version without it. Thanks.

I tried that but there is no such option. It's pay the extra for AI rubbish that I don't want or need, or cancel and lose access to the programs that I DO need. I am furious!

Thank you. The subscription thing worked. I was about to have a raging kaniption, but I am not freed from Ai oppression. Much love.
