Microsoft Word Now Contains Ads To ‘Supercharge Your AI Experience’ Even If You Pay For It

Microsoft, in all its wisdom, has decided to start harassing its Microsoft 365 subscribers, who already pay roughly $130 a year for either the Microsoft 365 Personal or Microsoft 365 Family plan subscriptions, with intrusive adverts that beg them to “supercharge” their “AI experience.”
This news comes via Neowin, which looked into the sudden barrage of AI Copilot slop adverts that had infested its own Microsoft 365 account after spotting several users on the Microsoft Feedback portal complaining about exactly the same thing.
The advert hits you with a “limited-time offer” that will grant you access to Microsoft 365 Premium’s extra “AI usage and exclusive Copilot features.”
Based on the chatter I’ve seen online about this, the ads have been getting rolled out to Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers since the end of April.
Once again, it’s important to note that this is a service that Microsoft 365 Family subscribers are paying roughly $130 a year for.
