As of a few days ago, Outlook Classic started shoving AI even harder down my throat at work. Aside from the usual, non-removable copilot button on the ribbon, they now have two new prompts right in your face:
That's 4 places to get copilot in one screen, 5 if you count the key combination they offer. I tried to get rid of these new ones, even as far as using GPOs, to no avail. I read a while back that the take-up on copilot had been much lower than they expected, so it seems that they're desperate to increase user engagement with it, hence pushing it at every possible opportunity.
Yup, and there’s more and more various ads in these programs as well. The worst is on the mobile version of Outlook, in the calendar, it says ‘Give me something to do’ or something along these lines. I’m like bitch please, I have enough shit to do without Copilot coming up with stuff based on my calendar.
