adding AI to everything will continue until morale improves
I have a… xbox one x, I think? Is that a current gen console? I’ll have to make sure its offline if they try to insert that shit in my box.
Current-generation consoles? You know you can’t put copilot on switch 2, Microsoft?
Exactly what your few remaining fans want.
For what…
Can Microsoft play its own games for me so I don’t have to play them?
That’s the idea, but you need to pay for the game first so that MS can enjoy it.
Fucking disgusting, Microslop cannot help themselves, Satya needs to be thrown out of the company at this stage. He’s going to run Microsoft into the ground and everything they ever bought. As eventually, people are just going to stop paying and using their stuff with this continued forced push of LLM garbage. It needs to stop. I use Linux as my main operating system, my Xbox Series S is an extra in my home. It will be replaced with a Steam Machine ASAP.
Microslop trying to ease the comming AI bubble crash by forcing AI down our throat?
Microslop has always failed upwards.
That’s really not true though. If Satya hadn’t guided Microsoft to their current cloud services model, their loses in various anti-trust cases could have ended the company as a penny stock.
These huge companies aren’t immune to consequences.
SEARS was untouchable, and is now nothing.
SEARS didn’t adapt. They were a mailorder king in the 80s, but somehow they didn’t feel online store was the method they should go with…which is just mailorder with an online catalog.
Same seems to be happening with MS, they don’t understand their clients.
Hey… Not to worry. The goal is for us to be forced to use proprietary, AI ridden malware. Android is locking down, age verification and hardware level scanning laws are coming to every western nation. They would never just outlaw Linux but they could neuter its freedom and autonomy. Privacy ROMs will be banned soon, either explicitly or by being made near impossible to get. Every device, every interaction online, every communication, will be scanned for state approved guidelines.
Thiel, the Heritage Foundation, the Elsons, and a bunch of rich fucks and companies want to control every single part of your life. Mark my words when I tell you, if they get their way in the future, we’ll all be slaves (literal slaves, not wage slaves) and neurolinks will be forced in every single person. These people are disgusting and sick

This would make more sense if they didn’t idioticly rebrand from cortana, the AI from halo, to copilot
Which was already the name of a feature on the xbox to have 2 controllers pretending to be one. Is it the same thing as the thing on Windows that keeps trying to force its way down my throat or something different that has the same name so when people complain online about it there will be deliberate confusion about the exact nature of the complaint until frustration causes users to lash out at eachother instead of finding and fixing the problem?
why
literally give me one reason why this should exist
To quickly add 200 million unwilling new Copilot users for the next shareholder report since nobody’s buying the Microslop? Not that it’s a good reason, but that’s my guess.
Come on, Satya’s bonus depends on it!
As it currently exists on other platforms, Gaming Copilot lets you ask guide-like questions about the game you’re currently playing. Microsoft’s official site offers an example question like “Can you remind me what materials I need to craft a sword in Minecraft?”
I haven’t used consoles for a few generations, but historically, switching between a game and a Web browser on a console wasn’t all that great, and text entry wasn’t all that great. I dunno if things have improved, but it was definitely a pain in the neck to refer to a website in-game historically.
On Linux, Wayland, I swap between fullscreen desktops when playing games, and often have a Web browser with information relevant to the game on another desktop. If it helps enable some approximation of a workflow like that for console players, that doesn’t sound unreasonable.
There are other objections I’d have, like not really wanting someone logging what my voice sounds like or giving Microsoft even more data on me to profile with via my searches. But it sounds to me like the basic functionality has a point.
I just use my phone to look stuff up if I’m on my steam deck.
I’ll preface by saying I don’t think it’s a good idea, but-
Fallout TV Show (and friends) have brought a lot of new people to gaming that might have eschewed it before, a lot of those people have no idea what they’re doing in videogames.
An ‘AI assistant’ could help in a face-saving way (consider a 60 year old father who’s never played, and possibly chastised games in the past, is now getting into Fallout NV due to the TV show - asking their kids that they ridiculed about games would be embarrassing, but asking an AI may not be)
Basically, letting old people who hated videogames, play videogames.
Why must people pay video games? If people don’t like it, just don’t play it. Watch a YouTube playthrough if you must.
Automating the experience of art is such a dystopian nightmare.
Also they’ll quickly learn about games where you need to git gud. Most games, especially recently, come equipped with a “baby mode storytime” difficulty setting, and theres more slice-of-life job-simulator games than ever.
If you try and go from “games are for children im too old for these newfangled marios” to “bullethell deathfest 6” youre gonna have a bad time
Fuck sakes, I bet I can’t turn automatic updates off / can’t play installed games without internet access…
Quick poll: did anyone ask for this? Any single person at all?
You know the one
AI Georg, who asks for this 10,000 times per day, is an outlier and should not have been counted
There’s one person. He is bald and has a very chokeable trachea.
I had no idea Mr Clean has a choking fetish…
Data miners. Mining minors.
I mean, MS does support Trump
I don’t need this Microslop
What does that even mean?
Now I can ask copilot how best to insult someone’s mom?
My copilot totally has a sexier voice than yours…
I never thought I would say this about Cortana, but… gross. Nobody wants this, Microslop!
They likely want to start collecting data. So they need to get something rushed out so that they can build up the pile of data they will need to build out and refine this feature in time for the launch of their next console.
Can I tell it to get rid of the ads on my Xbox home screen?
No. But you can use it to get misinformation.
