I'm not sure if it's because I'm old enough to remember Clippy, but like many, my first instinct is also to look for the "No, and never ask me anything ever again" button :)? I too am trying to rethink that and look at where I might get value out of using Copilot (or Chat GPT or deep seek or any of them.? A good friend of mine is quite into AI and has tried to encourage me as well and I still struggle (and Office telling me I can only ask it 60 questions a month really actually only makes my reaction "Oh, well I'll save them in case I need them!" - and yes, I appreciate the absurdity of that on the 29th of the month, when I'm unlikely to run into an "only AI can solve this" PC emergency in the next two days when I don't even know what I might use it?for! *grin*
So, for those hesitating - you're not the only one :)

It seems that a lot of people are discombobulated by the Copilot "prompt to you, the user" letting you know it's available.? When it tells you, "Select the icon or press Alt + I to draft with Copilot," it's simply making you aware of its presence and the option to give it prompts to do what you want it to do.? If you neither select the Copilot icon nor hit Alt + I, and just start typing, not a single thing is different than it ever has been in Word.? It just takes your text, as you are typing it, and placing it in the document at the insertion point.

It is much easier to be critical than to be correct.
