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?

    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"

    Read the link I posted.

    They are raising the prices of your current plan and include copilot (along with the price increase).

    You have to get back to the lower priced plan which doesn't have copilot.

    Just give us (your customers) the option to turn off this useless waste of space.

    AI is intruding even more with emails--now, when I am actually writing the email, I am continually asked if I want Copilot's help in writng the email! I do not need or want Copilot's help, and the icon and questions are extremely distracting. They appear whenever I make a paragraph break! I hope some of the people in charge see the frustration here and hold back on forcing AI upon us! It's fine to offer the option, but we should be able to shut it off!!!

    Thank you, thank you! I have Ublock origin and it worked! We'll see if it survives a reboot, as you said. But for now, to be free of that stupid encroachment is a satisfying start to my Saturday.
