Support NeoGAF

[March Climber]

This ought to go well when people are migrating away from current Windows just to be free from Copilot.

Nobody.Wants.This.

I will believe this when Linux users jump to 10%.

If they can simply reach double digits in ratio compared to Windows, then that will convince me that change is coming.

 

[MisterXDTV]

Stop MS, there are already enough reasons to put Series consoles in the trash

 

[bender]

Someone explain to me like 5 how it's even going to be used or useful in a closed environment?

Is it going to be like Kinect that your console can 'hear' you if you say shit like I need help with this area or something?

It's going to take up be used to take up the headroom in the 20% gap Helix has over PS6. Is that useful enough for you?

 

[Kazdi]

It didnt take long at all for Asha Sharma to shoehorn AI to xbox...

 

[Spyxos]

"irony off"

I've already disabled that nonsense several times, only to have that crap turn back on after a Windows update.

 

[neo raider]

This trash keeps coming back everytime I update windows

I might just switch to Linux at this point, even if I cant play 50% of my games idc

 

[Sethbacca]

I will believe this when Linux users jump to 10%.

If they can simply reach double digits in ratio compared to Windows, then that will convince me that change is coming.

I mean, it's happening faster than it has before but yeah I don't think we'll see that any time soon.

 

[Plague Doctor]

"Team, we are down. Our hero and savior Phil has left us in the most tulmutous peroid ever. We need a win. Any ideas?"

"Well... follow me here. AI."

"AI?"

"AI!"

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Turned off

 

[Esquie]

They've had this in the Xbox app for a while now. It's literally just a search prompt like Google. It's nothing. I've never used it and it's never been intrusive. There's so many knee-jerk reactions here.

 

[princelashawn]

Copilot: "For the last 3 hours I've noticed elevated sweat levels and declining social balance. Your Elden Ring session has been suspended. Please call your girlfriend and rejoin society. Game access returns in 6 hours if behavior improves. Your account has been locked."

 

[kiphalfton]

Data collection for MS.

It's a race to the top, to see who will win title of "Shadow Broker".

It's crazy how much these companies are fighting to get people's info. The thirst is real.

If Microsoft does it right, Gaming Copilot could be pretty helpful for tips, builds, or getting unstuck in games.

PS5 already uses something similar and its absolutely worthless

 

[IntentionalPun]

PS5 already uses something similar and its absolutely worthless

PS5's requires support from developers basically building in the hints and tips into the game metadata I'm pretty sure.

Not that an AI version is full proof or anything, but it doesn't require developer support.

 

[ReBurn]

Maybe it can get achievements for me

 

[Quasicat]

Why do this on current gen when next gen is out next year…unless they are expecting cross gen to be really long.

 

[WhamBamThankYouMaam]

I played my first game during the 70s and I have been a gamer since then.

This is the least interesting gaming innovation I have heard of during all my years as a gamer.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

They've had this in the Xbox app for a while now. It's literally just a search prompt like Google. It's nothing. I've never used it and it's never been intrusive. There's so many knee-jerk reactions here.

I've used it a few times to help attributing points in rpgs, works pretty well for that.

 

[Sintoid]

Another good reason for not turning on my Series again

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

my condolences to the Xbox users here

 

[Pasta la Vista]

PS5's requires support from developers basically building in the hints and tips into the game metadata I'm pretty sure.

Not that an AI version is full proof or anything, but it doesn't require developer support.

For the few games ive seen use it, all I saw was that it linked to some YouTube videos

 

[Codeblew]

Microsoft trying to push AI into every goddamn thing. Hey Microsoft, if I want to ask AI something, I can just alt-tab to my browser. If I am playing on a console, I can just pick up my phone.

It's likely to be constantly scanning your position in game and status I am thinking. Supposedly to "help" you in game but in reality helping with training and getting more data.

Plus "higher Copilot adoption in our gaming business sector". Think of the shareholders!

 

[PeteBull]

 

[kaizenkko]

The full Windows experience they said!

 

[ZehDon]

If Microsoft does it right, Gaming Copilot could be pretty helpful for tips, builds, or getting unstuck in games.

Right. Here's me asking CoPilot for help in a game that hasn't been released, fighting a boss that doesn't exist:

AI is fucking useless for video game assistance because it can't not hallucinate answers to shit it doesn't know.

Keep this fucking shit out of my fucking video games.

 

[poppabk]

Doesn't matter; they'll still get your user data simply by it being installed.

Oh no. You don't think these gaming companies don't already get all your info. How do you think they put out those
# hours played
# of zombies killed
# guns collected
# hours spent trying to look up the female characters skirt
Tweets?

 

[Skyfox]

I remember the controversy when people were beating up a feminist in red dead redemption I think.

Microsoft are peeping Toms.

I'm seriously thinking of disconnecting my series x from the Internet before they destroy it.

 

[Fess]

What does this even provide exactly. Legit wondering

Instead of picking up your phone and google how to beat Groal, ask Copilot.
No idea if this means that you'll need a headset with a mic or if they'll sell controllers with a mic. I ain't typing a question on a controller that's for sure.

 

[MayauMiao]

Its already failing even before their PC called Project Helix comes out.

Xbox is truly..

 

[Signalis]

 

[Windle Poons]

Cool I'll just let it play Dark Souls for me while I go to work.

I'll be on 1000/1000 achievements by the time I'm finished for the day. No biggie.

 

[Hyper_hyper]

Yep, Slopox

 

[nordique]

But why?

Literally why

 

[Three]

And if you can't?

Best feature ever

 

[Hohenheim]

Microslop strikes again.
On PC it's easy to fully disable
shitty bloat like this. Will probably be a bit harder on consoles.

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

Wow Microsoft has truly innovated the very first agentic gaming console experience. I feel so blessed to live in this timeline.

 

[spons]

AI has its place in coding (which can be verified to be correct by proper usage of tests), and 2D art since that's subjective, but they simply cannot be trusted for most other tasks.
They constantly spit out nonsense, or "hallucinate" bullshit since they're forced to come to an answer or conclusion.

Doesn't matter; they'll still get your user data simply by it being installed.

What user data?

For game data, Nintendo for example has telemetry up the rectum on Switch. Almost every fart you make in-game is routed to HQ. Everything is already logged by everyone on every platform.
Here's a fun write-up: https://zeldamods.org/wiki/Telemetry
They know exactly what you do and how you do it.

 

[Katatonic]

Fuck MS, fuck xbox, fuck copilot and fuck you if you keep cheerleading for this shit.

 

[Hohenheim]

"irony off"

I've already disabled that nonsense several times, only to have that crap turn back on after a Windows update.

Yeah, it's so shitty.
I use winutil after each Windows update, to make sure the bloat stays away from my systems.

 

[Miles708]

Microslop Xslopx

 

[Topher]

That's a dang good test.

Gemini makes up some shit as well

Claude answers correctly

Deepseek making shit up. lol

AI has a long way to go

 

[Complistic]

I've used my series x as a stand for my PS Portal for like a year now.

 

[Neat]

This could be useful for kids/new gamers.

 

[midnightAI]

meh, its optional, so who cares, now if it gets beyond optional then I'll start to worry

 

[DeepEnigma]

meh, its optional, so who cares, now if it gets beyond optional then I'll start to worry

It'll be embedded into the system like it is now with Windows. "Optional" is an illusion.

 

[Steve Holt]

How will people debloat the next "console"

 

[Gudji]

Haha were first again , always the innovators
