I've tried the recommended steps for creating then setting the value for WindowsCopilot to 1, but the AI functions still return.

Help please.

    buddy do you want the AI to take screenshots of your computer screen every 5 seconds? because that is legitimately what copilot is.

    You are obviously ignorant of privacy regulations with which businesses—especially medical or financial—MUST comply on pain of prosecution.

    • For these organizations, any informtation leakage can potentially send anyone working within these organizations to jail—and, in many cases, for hard time, not a mere slap on the rist.

    This includes you doctor, their nurses, anyone at your bank, etc.: get the picture?

    Copilot can be disabled, which is what I did, because I have a subscription to ChatGPT-4, but it cannot be removed, because artificial intelligence is now part of the operating system and, increasingly, part of everyday life. So disable it if you wish, however, I think the better choice is to learn how to live with it, because artificial intelligence, for better or worse, is the future, and no one can escape the future.

    No, one does not need to "live with" AI. At present it is a PITA that rarely works and turning it off is a perfectly reasonable approach to take.

    I think that is a bit unfair, I've been computer industry watching for the past 40 odd years - as my job - and if there was ever a phrase that defines the industry's attitude to the user it's 'suck it up'. I truly sympathise that you are going to feel 'watched over' as these new technologies arrive, but arrive they will.

    I totally agree with fighting it (I'm only here cos I'm looking for a way to disable copilot - possibly even more smug that that bloody paperclip) but you need to realise that it’s going to be *your* time used fighting it.

    Like others here, I have no desire to offend but I'm afraid it's not condescending to explain that this is going to happen, either get used to it or put in the effort to ameliorate it. I'm very sorry if that sounds harsh - but what "we" want doesn't really come into it, what "they" put into their systems that we buy is what we are going to get.

    And no, I'm not saying that is good or even OK.

    Cheers

    Chris
