How do I TURN OFF the "Summary by Copilot banner that appears on every single email I receive in outlook?

I may, maybe once a year when tagged into a super long email thread try to get a summary... but 99.99% of the time I will never want to use this, as such the banner is annoying and consumes lots of valuable space where I could render my email.

How can I turn this off? or hide it by default?

    Hey, you did your best for many people enduring this digital oppression. There is not much more you could do. Your intention was in the best interests of all, and I appreciate it as do others. Increasingly, we find ourselves the victims of developer-driven innovation that nobody requested or wanted in the first place. It is frustrating to lose countless hours seeking solutions to what should never have been a problem in the first place. Thanks for your efforts mate.

    imagine the god damn arrogance of the product manager, designer and dev when they decided to not include a disable option for all the copilot ****.

    just imagine it for a moment. hey you, was the year end bonus not enough? or why are you like this?

    Microsoft is raising prices for your current Microsoft 365 plan and include copilot as part of the price increase.

    You have to downgrade to a lower plan which doesn't include copilot.

    The solution is simple

    1. Stop using all MS office apps - there are alternatives
    2. Stop using Edge - there are alternatives

    Don't allow any app that forces this childish AI gibberish on users

    Send the message out to MS child programmers

    • we don't need AI
    • we don't want AI

    So simply terminate your Sub, and in the ensuing screen that ask why, simply type "AI"

    I also do not want your AI copilot and find it appalling that users can't opt in or out. This needs to be corrected.
