the ai menu that pops up and covers half of the screen is really annoying because it opens when I am halfway done with a piece of code and there doesn’t seem to be a way to turn it off.

now it will respect when you collapse it and not randomly re-open

Uhm… You mean the “Debug with AI” button or the popup?  
You can simply press the arrow to move it back down.

yes and that works perfectly fine for about 5 seconds until it decides to pop back up and cover half of the screen again
