For several years now, Microsoft has been making the controversial decision to foist Copilot on everyone in every location possible. Now, according to a Reddit thread, it has appeared on LG TVs following a software update, and it seems that you can't get rid of it, even if you want to.

The issue was posted to r/mildlyinfuriating by the Redditor defjam16. After a TV software update, Copilot appeared on the TV and could not be deleted when the user tried. Responding in the comments, defjam16 said their main issue was that it wasn't installed with explicit permission, and they worried about whether the app had unknown access to the microphone and other services.

Like many readers of Neowin, multiple people responding to the thread were in strong disagreement with Microsoft's decision to push Copilot into other Microsoft services such as M365, Notepad, and OneNote. One user described it as a prettier version of a search engine that guesses at answers. Some Reddit users cynically speculated that Microsoft has spent so much on AI that it is now forcing it on users because they are finding it hard to find a viable business model for it, and the strategy is to put it everywhere, whether you like it or not.
