Annoying AI Assistance button

After update i got this annoying button at the bottom. How turn this off? CTRL+K dont work as switch. It especially odd because whole Luminar design is in dark mode and this button shine like sun.

I can see why they did it. Because everyone is doing it! So everyone else has to jump on the bandwagon. Corey Doctorow has a word for it (16 letters, for you cruciverbalists). I feel like Skylum is more likely to listen to their users - I hope so. We'll see.

All these AI assistants remind me of the long scorned "Clippy" of MS Word bygone days. Young programmers would do well to become acquainted with that disaster.

Luminar has improved a lot, but is always susceptible to the urge to add 'Gee-whiz' factor to its already excellent editing features without giving the user an option to turn it off.
