HELP - I've never used sidekick but the tab launches on board load

Whenever I open a board, it opens this annoying side panel prompting (haha) me to check out Miro’s AI companion tools or whatever. I can close it manually, but doing so every time and having it show up when I really will just close it every time is frustrating and tedious. Other help tickets have resolved a similar issue by clicking the three dots and disabling “run on board start up”, but since I’ve never used Sidekick and never will, I don’t have that option.

The panel on the right is the one I’d like to get rid of. As you can see, there’s no “...” button by the “x” or “+ Create” buttons in the top right.
For accessibility, it should be an option, but it’s not
No way to turn it off here, either… “Start view” only impacts the crop of the initial view, not the tabs present
Shouldn’t I be able to toggle what options I see or don’t see on a board on startup?
My preference is to not have the AI panel load on start up, but Miro doesn’t seem to think that’s an opinion I can have

Above are all the relevant board options I can see, and none of them allow toggling the tab on or off; I can’t find any options in my profile settings, either. Help and/or resolution is appreciated because this is a daily thorn in my side and it’s really poisoning my experience of Miro. Thanks!
