How do you disable Clyde AI in DMs?

Discussion
The Clyde FAQ at https://dis.gd/clyde hasn't updated to reflect this yet. It currently states "Clyde in Direct
Messages & Group Direct Messages are not supported at this time" when that feature is now being rolled out.

The Clyde AI account is currently in one of my group chats and DMs with another user after that user noticed it as
an option and pinged it out of curiosity. It doesn't show up in the list of members in the group chat, but we can all
now ping the bot to have it respond to messages. Right clicking it only allows us to copy the ID, and there is no
option to block or kick the bot.

We aren't comfortable with this AI being in our group chat, and there is no way to remove it. We've already tested
how much it reads and it's demonstrated that it reads messages that don't directly ping it. The Clyde FAQ does
mention that "for context to help it generate a more relevant response, Clyde can also read recent messages sent
in the text channel or user-created thread prior to the message that invoked it" but we aren't okay with this bot
reading potentially every new message sent in a group chat with sensitive content that we can't remove it from.

If you think Discord (being a social media company) isn't already reading or scanning messages in some
form, I have a bridge to sell you.

bump, friend of mine pinged clyde in a 1 on 1 DM and it started responding to everything, and I have yet to
find a way to remove it. this is terrifying if my entire DM conversation is sent to OpenAI because one of us
accidentally pinged clyde without knowing this.
