Why has microsoft copilot installed itself on my windows 10 pc?

I did not ask for this feature, I didn't even intentionally update my pc and while I am glad that I seem to have successfully uninstalled it, I am infuriated that it was installed without my knowledge nor consent. Generative AI is technology I personally believe to be genuinely evil and not something I would interact with willingly under any circumstances. Knowing that this feature is irremovable in win11 is the final excuse I need never to install it. If any Microsoft exec cares please burn down all of your AI infrastructure and reassign all those staff, it is a waste of money, talent, time and human energy. Please do not re-install Copilot in the next update, please.

    I uninstalled a trial version of Microsoft 365 months ago and now copilot is back which I just learned requires a subscription to Microsoft copilot 365. Am I suddenly being charged for it without my knowledge or permission! Do I have any recourse to undo any current or future payments to Microsoft for an app I did not request or even want? This is a sneaky back door way of doing business and no notice was given that this was happening. Not only is Microsoft trying to force users to upgrade to Windows 11, they are now trying this underhanded method of still making a few extra bucks off anyone who can't afford to replace all their pc's to comply with the requirements for Windows 11. If I knew that copilot is not a free service anymore I would have dumped it without using it. Microsoft has become corrupted by greed!

    Do you know how condescending you come off? Do you revel in it? Does it make you feel big?

    microsoft will not be placings **** on my pc after they no longer support windows 10 so why do it now, when we are only a few months out, because im one of the few million users that cannot be bothered with a system that continually implodes cause blue screen and gives bad updates ect thank for the good times. i have a phone that can access the internet with no AI (I think)
