Every single time I open Teams it pops up a dialogue asking if I want to try Copilot. There’s no “No” option, just “Yes” and “Maybe later”. If you click “Maybe later”, it asks again the next day. One day they’ll just assume “Yes” and not ask.
And this is at work for a company that has demanded we jam needless AI into all our applications.
I suspect “yes” comes with strings attached, which is why I’m sticking to the other option. But it’s likely I already agreed to the strings when I agreed to my company’s demand that we use Teams.
Also I don’t want to give some manager at Microsoft the satisfaction of adding my click on “Yes” to their stats.

Bingo. The licenses were agreed to when the product was purchased, not when you click “yes, ok, show me the tutorial”
I mean it sucks and I don’t use these tools either despite them being forced into my work machine, but if you’re getting psychic damage every morning bc the pop up you could just click through it and ignore the shit tools from there. That’s all I’m saying, your sanity is worth clicking a few buttons.
That yes button is a license agreement to spy on your professional messaging and there is probably no way to undo it. Go look up what hoops lawyers had to jump through when Word added no opt-out AI. Microsoft doesn’t understand how to make applications for the end user, their only concern is selling cloud compute tokens.
This is incorrect, the license agreement is accepted upon purchase and provisioning to users. You, as a user, clicking through the onboarding tutorial is not the license agreement.
It’s a work computer and your it team and legal department has already approved usage of these tools. Sure, you do whatever you think is right but your company has already agreed to that license. You are already bound by it through your employment and usage of employer provided tools
Great. Sorry for confusing you with my vague “your company did x” in my previous reply. I was trying to refer to the OP commenter I replied to in this thread. If a feature is enabled and provisioned to you, it’s largely true that your company has already accepted the license agreement for you to use it. I wish my company didn’t shove ai everywhere but many are and as employees (in the US atelast) we don’t have any ability to not agree to these terms.
My company thankfully aren’t in the “jam AI” phase, but we still get those fucking Teams and Outlook popups begging us to use copilot. If you go into settings, there is a way to turn off those notifications… until the app updates and - ooh look whaddayaknow - that setting is enabled again
We are in the “submit anything to do with AI to the CTO and Legal for intense scrutiny” phase. Then I noticed some copilot app just installed itself, I assume as part of the 11 update. I uninstalled it from my machine………

You could just click yes, do whatever two minute intro it has and then ignore the feature forever from there.
Instead you click no every time and complain that it pops up again the next time, knowing that it’ll pop up again tomorrow
Listen I hate these tools too but you have a solution here that’ll make it so the tool will stop pestering you so that you can truly ignore it.

My IT department laid out clearly what AI tools are approved, and copilot and chatGPT weren’t on the list.

Sadly, in many of these programs, Copilot will start collecting data if you enable it. And send it to Microsoft, obviously.
That’s my thinking but I suspect it probably does this anyway.
It’s a work computer (it has teams on it). It’s already enabled and collecting data as approved by the IT team. Why do you care?
