How do I disable Copilot and all Other AI functionality in Windows 11 PRO

Help please.

Adoption of generative AI is only going to grow and, despite concerns that people have, it has proven itself enormously popular and amazingly productive. The next update to Windows 11 (currently testing) will add capabilities to Copilot.
Eventually, Copilot will put Microsoft Community out of business, since you'll be able to ask your questions directly to Copilot and get better results than I or anyone else here could provide.
All this can only be possible if Copilot is deeply integrated into Windows. That way, applications that depend on Copilot can 'plug in' to already existing technology that provides a consistent and up-to-date platform for developers. Or would you prefer that copy and paste was not part of Windows, and instead developers had to add their own versions of copy and paste to their applications?
This last part will sound really harsh, and again I apologize, however, technology has no patience for the minority who are resistant to change. They are simply left behind, and you don't want to be left behind artificial intelligence. It will be everywhere in your daily life, so you are not doing yourself any favors by trying to avoid it.
I feel like by now I've worn out my welcome, so I'll end here.

That's correct. The fact is, whether we like it or not, generative artificial intelligence is here, and it's not going way.
Microsoft's competitors already have generative artificial intelligence - including arch-rival Google - or soon will - like Apple - and artificial intelligence is enormously popular in the marketplace. If Microsoft doesn't jump on the boat now they'll be shut out, like they were with Cortana (which was too late to compete with Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant) and Windows Phone (which was too late to compete with Android and iOS.)
At least Microsoft gives us the ability - for now - to disable Copilot
