  This would make more sense if they didn’t idioticly rebrand from cortana, the AI from halo, to copilot

    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.

    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.

  Quick poll: did anyone ask for this? Any single person at all?

    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.

  Can I tell it to get rid of the ads on my Xbox home screen?

    No. But you can use it to get misinformation.

  They likely want to start collecting data. So the 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.

  Okay so all 4 Series X consoles sold, including mine. I won’t use it, so that leaves 3 possibilities left.

  Copilot seems like an online feature. As such, I hope it requires a GamePass subscription like all multiplayer games do.

    Good news you can have it for free! Oh and don’t worry, it’ll automatically be included with the next update!

  I just don’t see how this could provide any value. Assuming a new games comes out, there is literally no information to train on but the game itself. You kind of need existing guides for that and if developers have to write them themselves, you might as well add those with a good full text search.

  On top of that, the age of guides seems kind of gone. Most games are quite on tue nose about everything and tend to present more tutorials than you will ever need.

  Phil Spencer probably didn’t approved of this and got shitcanned.
