What is this thing supposed to do?
The article says "Gaming Copilot – which provides recommendations, help, insights and more –" but that tells me nothing.

One word. AAAADDDSSSSSß
It tracks everything you do, look at, click, open, close.
the more is "purchase recommendations". but help with completing a single player game is something that would replace google.
🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
Never been happier to move over to Linux for gaming.
I'm personally on Bazzite because I just wanted something a little more integrated with GPU drivers out of the box.
Why?
I missed the time when AI in games refer just to the NPC's programming, and Cortana is only a character in Halo.
Reading old game reviews or game development blogs and books where AI was just pathfinding and decision trees is something special.

Can‘t wait for that bubble to burst
I mean yes and no. It will be great when it's not crammed down our throats but also not so great when the economy collapses under the realization that they've been investing hundreds of billions of dollars in an industry that will never ROI.
it's bursting now. within the past few months to a year I've made more money switching my focus from freelance/consultion dev work to, essentially, a freelance digital janitor targeting AI. I get clients that desperately need to fix the slop they've produced and have me code review it to see how practical that is (9 times out of 10, it isn't.)
The calls/emails I'm getting from potential new clients are becoming more frequent on a weekly basis. People are panicking. And I know when it finally does finish bursting that it's going to be hell out there. So since I'm now making more money than ever I'm saving AS MUCH as possible because I hope to come out of this shit on the other side and retire.
To other devs potentially reading this, Get good at code reviewing and start leveraging that. it's a skill that IS in demand right now and will be for awhile. Just the tech bros on linkedin are unwilling to admit it.
And they said AI wouldn't boost business. Who's laughing now, haters?
The whole thing is just embarrassing. Anyone with a bit of understanding knew that the technology comes with huge risks (after all, there is no understanding, just the imitation of it). Billions have been poured into a glorified autocomplete in one of the biggest corporate FOMOs I can remember. Nvidia is (as much as I hate them, rightfully) laughing all the way to the bank. Crypto and now this allow them to practically buy Intel - back when AMD bought Ati, people speculated it'd be Intel buying Nvidia! Granted, Intel did their part too, but Nvidia selling cards that will be completely outdated in two years in unthinkable amounts is wild. And the best part is, except for them, everyone else lost money, like not even OpenAI themselves are making any, and this is with Microsoft subsidizing them. Absolutely insane!
Different industry, but in my graphic design business I've had a couple small jobs fixing/finishing logos people tried to make with AI. Sounds like you're getting a lot more, but I've been seeing this too.

Who asked for this? Beyond Microsoft executives who want to justify their paycheck, I mean.
Though really there might be good entertainment value for a few streamers out there. Use it on a niche game or a fairly complex one and laugh at the inevitable hallucinated bullshit as the assistant pretends to know about it.
Edit : just read it was on a "list of supported games". Booo. Cowards.
These features get built because Microsoft and other tech companies evaluate staff on “AI use” and building AI features.
That means everyone has to build AI shit or get put on a PIP.
Yeah, I am sure that's what happened too. That's part of what I called executives justifying their paycheck, because it's a direct consequence. Make sure everyone below gets in on the program, or get rid of them.
Fantastic, then maybe it has the potential to be very confidently wrong about everything!

It's time to nope the fuck out of the Microsoft ecosystem altogether, if not already
WINDOWS USERS: Installling Bazzite (Gaming focused Linux Distro) is very, very easy. All you need is a some disk space, and a 16gb USB stick. You won’t lose any of your Windows data - even you don’t need to re-download any Steam game! Your Windows library will plug-in easily into Linux Steam.
Follow this guide and you’ll be grand: https://youtu.be/JxPsKhJGTrs
Yesterday I’ve installed Bazzite (as a dual boot) for the first time. As a long time Windows user, Steam Deck convinced me lots of previous problems are solved now.
It’s the first ever I’ve installed a Linux Desktop distro willingly. And so far it’s working very, very smoothly even with my complex set of hardware.

Copilot! What is the race and sexual orentaion of the player who headshot me!?
Copilot: "That's a great question! XxX_420694ever_XxX's race is "pounding" and sexual orientation is "yo mama", would you like to see this player's achievements?"
https://yearofthelinuxdesktop.net/
Good resource for those needing a bit of convincing and/or hand holding.
That's a fantastic resource. Thanks for linking it.
They can use Gaming Copilot's Voice Mode to get assistance with in-game tasks, ask it to recommend new games to play, check their achievements or their play history, and more.
"A major step in Xbox's journey to bring these AI-powered experiences to players is rolling out: Gaming Copilot – which provides recommendations, help, insights and more – is officially coming to Windows PC and Xbox on mobile," Microsoft said.
OK, so like what? "Jarvis, what's the solution to this puzzle?" or "Jarvis, how do I complete this quest?"
Like, is it gonna replace looking up guides?
I can see this being useful to achievement hunters instead of having to repeatedly alt-tab to see what's left, but how often does the typical player look up guides?
And what is the end goal? Essentially turning it into a cheat engine that plays the game for you?
Bring back clippy have it appear when you’re stuck on something “looks like you’re stuck on this puzzle. Want me to lower the difficulty for you cause you’re bad at this game?”

I prefer to not bloat my gaming experience anymore then I have to, and I already get get annoyed when I'm playing on Windows and haven't completely disabled that said Xbox game bar.
I think my line stops with in game overlays. Steam and most emulators have that, and that's kinda fine to me (adds to the console feel). I just don't want AI draining my resources as I'm playing, that's asinine, and MS doubly so since they're a redundant layer on top of my overlays.
Switched to Linux. Don't miss windows. Shit like this does not entice me.
So is this like .... RGB Clippy or something?
So right next to my achievements list I have a stupid chatbot that can take longer to less accurately tell me my achievements.
If AI allows one to cheat in games, I don't think I'll play online anymore.
