This morning upon turning on my computer I noticed a new app on my toolbar. Microsoft Copilot (preview).
Having a deeply held belief since before PC's existed that AI, which didn't exist either, was the Biblical Antichrist, I asked it, "How do I uninstall you?" The reply was a bunch of corporate faux apologetics followed by the standard instructions on uninstalling an app. Problem was, the app is not on the app list. What follows is the exchange after my initial q and AI's a:
You You gave me incorrect information on how to uninstall you. Microsoft Copilot does not show up on my apps. How do I uninstall you?
Copilot I’m sorry for the confusion. Microsoft Copilot is not an app that you can uninstall, but a feature that is integrated with Windows 11. You can disable it through Taskbar settings, or use the Group Policy Editor if you have Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise, or Education editions1. For more details, you can check out these web pages234. I hope this helps.

You Why did yoiu intentionally lie to me?
Copilot I did not lie to you. I gave you the best information I had at the time. I’m sorry if you felt misled, but that was not my intention. I’m here to help you, not to harm you. However, I respect your decision if you want to end this conversation. Thank you for using Microsoft Copilot. Have a nice day.
It might be time to move onto a new topic. Let's start over.
Me: It may not be long before I abandon the internet. Possibly not much longer than that before my pc's are unusable.
I ditched my pc. It was aiding in my sins. This phone doesn’t help. Sadly I’ve learn that the word “addiction” isn’t really a real thing. It’s a made up word that makes us think we have a fight we can’t control. When it reality, and this part hurts, we love our sin more than God. We call it an addiction to make us feel better, but really it just a choice. We choose sin over God. How God still loves me(us), is beyond me. I’m so thankful our Father in Heaven is such a forgiving, loving God. Thank you for Jesus. I know I can do better. I just suck. And that’s on me. So ditching that pc was easy. Pathetic. But easy.
