How do I disable the new Bing AI chat??

It's actually a pop up dialog box at the bottom right corner tray of the screen. I didn't even have Edge opened (I almost never use it). I think it showed a skype icon underneath the bing AI icon on top of the chat bar, and it beeped when it showed up all of a sudden without me initiating anything & just continued on chatting until it realized I tried to search how to get rid of it. Do I need to uninstall Skype or even Edge? Because I will do so if that means I can rid of it forever. I don't want it taking residency in my PC, or eating at my memory or space. I also do not want it to spy or monitor my activities. I absolutely want no part in Microsoft trying to catch up in the AI technology. I value my privacy & my time above anything, and they can never buy my consent for this. I consider this an invasion of my privacy.

Thank you, I will try that. And I will uninstall Skype if that chat Bing AI pops up again. I hope Microsoft learns to appreciate the user's privacy. It's one thing to create an account and interact with the AI willingly like in chat GPT, but it's a completely different thing to actually load it into multiple apps inside each user's machine without consent. I'm sure that i am not alone in this regard.

Thank you.

I do not want to disable the AI search, but I am tired of seeing the suggestion box below. It gets very old seeing a suggestion about preparing a dinner party for 6. How do I remove the suggestion box and keep the AI search feature?

THANK YOU!!!!

Why force this upon users and make some ridiculous way to remove it?? No wonder why people hate Microshill these days!!

Well I have this annoying chat box coming out of Microsoft edge and I don't use Skype. In Microsoft rewards it is the first item on the list to earn some points. So it is not a bug, it is Microsoft want people to use this instead of writing on the browser. There are lots of people complaining about this. I have tried some things advised from the internet but it is always appearing. I used regularly Microsoft edge to browser but since this annoying chatting box appeared I moved to google. I come from time to time edge but the chatting box keeps appearing. So the best solution that I have so far is moving from browser.

How can I remove the Bing bot thing? whenever I do a search a box comes up with a reply from the Bing AI Chat bot. I just went through and disabled it through Bing.com but it didn't go away for my regular search. It is quite irritating not being able to find coherent answers about this specifically.

For example, the OP's question was for the AI bot, and you replied with a different answer (unless I misread lol). Although it was nice to get rid of the Bing Icon that you talked about. Thank you for your help though.

(edit) It would seem I found out why it didn't work. I never saved the changes. 🫤 I apologize lol
