      I don't want anything to do with AI. 

      My Microsoft 365 account now has Copilot in its name, and all over it, and promises Copilot Chat is coming soon. I can live with that by virtually never opening the website. The integration of Copilot in Word, Excel and Powerpoint on my Mac is awful, with the little grey Copilot icon tracking down the page with every carriage return in Word.

      I have read that I can downgrade (for me an upgrade) to Microsoft 365 Family Classic, but that option is not offered me when I follow the instructions. I know I can remove Word and install a pre-Copilot version, but AutoUpdater always wants me to update. 

      Apparently with MacOS 15.3, I will have to actively opt out of their AI as well.
