It'll be opt-out with the setting in some obscure and hard to find menu, just like every other AI program. And that's if they're required to even allow you to opt out.

And it'll accidentally turn itself back on after updates. And data will accidentally leave your device.

This is conjecture. Maybe we should wait before we make assumptions? Am I being too logical for /c/technology?

It's conjecture based on evidence from the way previous companies have handled AI data as well as the way Microsoft themselves generally handle things.

I'd rather prepare for the corporate greed and be pleasantly surprised than be disappointed when Microsoft does something that will negatively impact their userbase in the name of profits again (or MAUs or whatever else looks good on the quarterly report).
