Barbara, I hate it too.  It takes up a ridiculous amount of my laptop screen while hiding pertinent tabs.  And it serves absolutely no purpose.  I am really angry that turning off AI is not an option.  If a QuickBooks user is so incapable of entering data without AI, they shouldn't be doing it.  I plan to continue to complain to Intuit at every opportunity.  Unfortunately, my time is valuable and complaining to Intuit just wastes it.
