Yes, but one product cycle and there's metadata (like a background texture) that tells the OCR to skip this page. Or ask your local LLM if the user is talking about medical conditions? If you like the feature at all you can make these things work.

"If you like the feature at all you can make these things work."

It's not on the individual users to take steps to preserve their basic human dignity. It's not Microsoft to not take that dignity away by default as was their plan before this fiasco predictably blew up in their faces just like the Xbox One always-online Kinect requirement before it.

Another product cycle and it’s up on Azure. So thanks but no thanks.
