I want to turn off or hide the draft with copilot dingbat that follows my cursor around in MS Word.
Found it, and unchecking the box worked. From inside of Word, File-->Options-->Copilot.
I'm an author. I spend my life on Word. This is annoying to the point of driving me insane!! I'm going to have to look at some sort of alternative. I CANNOT concentrate and DO NOT need a stupid AI icon constantly shoved in my line of vision! The idea we pay for this stuff, didn't ask for it and have no ability to turn it off is beyond frustrating.
This is exactly my situation too. I write using Word every day and have never needed AI to write for me. I have always liked Microsoft products because they are so customizable, so having this icon shoved in our face that we can't remove is both insulting and infuriating beyond belief, especially because it appears every time you go to a new line. Who needs AI every single line? It's already on the ribbon, so just leave it there.
