Microsoft's 'Copilot AI' Could Have A Big Effect On Xbox And PC Games

When Senua closes her eyes, this is what she sees.

It could be kind of helpful for rpgs, rts or complex games if the AI was analyzing your actions and giving you pointers based on what you are actually doing instead of the generalized tutorials.

@BacklogBrad second this. Also think AI would be helpful in open world games with a lot of NPCs. The Witcher is a good example. They could use AI to make them seem more individual rather than copy and paste jobs.

All I see this doing is making people dependent and dumber. Do I really have to quote Dr. Ian Malcom for the hundredth time? This may seem novel and cool at first, but it’s not good.

@InheritNegative This. The most horrifying quite I've ever heard is the one above: " your AI companion will start to live life alongside you."

There' is no scenario in which that's anything but horrifying.
I kind of love how they keep talking about what companies are requiring are people with "AI skills." WTF are AI skills? The whole point of AI is to not need skills. It's the removal of skills. It's like saying "I have microwave oven skills!" If "I can formulate sentences that instruct what I want clearly" counts as in demand skills, humanity is well past the doomed point. People used to graduate to that level by age 8. Now it requires a diploma. Heck now we're moving to the point where you don't even need typing skills. Everyone's skill set will amount to "I can talk to my imaginary friend and tell them precisely what my wants are."

But it doesn't matter because as AI replaces everyone for doing basically anything that requires thinking, there won't be much value in being able to think anyway. In 2020 humans could engineer AI. By 2080 humans will barely be able to beat animal with stick to cook on glowy hot light. Know to kuuk because voice-in-box tells must cook for safing.

i can't watch that video, thats the bad man.

This is the future people and it’s happening whether we like it or not.

Personally I think it’s quite cool and I can see it being more beneficial for most than not. Once AI is advanced enough people who are lonely for whatever reason, for example a senior with no family/friends, it could make them no longer feel lonely if the AI can hold a proper conversation like a real person and it’s voice sounding very human. I can see it also helping people with mental health.

I get why people would be concerned about AI but don’t be all gloom and doom thinking AI will one day turn into Skynet 😂 If done right it could end up being another amazing creation by humankind. Or our downfall if there was ever a Judgement Day lol

I hope you can turn it off. I don't wanna use it. It might try terminate me.

So this AI will probably work by scraping data from guides like are posted on this site and thus stealing views, and thus revenue and exposure, from independently run sites, or fan made guides.

@NEStalgia yup they are really trying to force their AI on us. In windows 11 I had to research how to disable the AI near the search bar. Since Microsoft didn’t have the usual easy options to disable undesirable software.

I want AI of enemies to be able to repeat your own character's or other enemies, to losing their moves. Say a robot enemy. Like say Binary Domain or something else. But not 'AI' AI.

Then again I hate File Explorer search it messes up so much let alone Windows search where I just want a local on my computer search not a web search like it ALWAYS wants to prioritise. I only use it for run winver anyways to check the version before the next Windows 10 updates. XD

To better animations that aren't as stiff and done to death. But I also don't care that much to me gameplay matters. If it's assistance then sure but so things don't need it in games or any software. I mean how much do people care about Personal Assistants in Windows or the agents like Clippy or Clippit in MS Office? Or Microsoft Bob.

There is assistance or other tweaks and then there is wikis/guides or walkthroughs or strategy guides or glitch/speedruns or other things.

To me the Xbox help/support app is pretty useless for some things. I was searching for something and I can't remember what it was now but I already knew they didn't have what I was looking for. They could 'try' to answer it but I know it's not something they would ever answer anyway that's why I searched out of curiosity not because I expected a solution to my question.

Then again they could put better effort into the BC side of things. I just look at wikipedia or the Xbox page with the listings. But on the console nah I just put the disk in to check instead. But I check a website before I buy it just encase but just still get them if my 360 can handle them and they can. But OG Xbox games nah it's BC only that way on Xbox One or 360 and IF I want to use my 360 capable of OG Xbox games (the online one I use the offline one mostly).

Co-pilot itself is so limited. I get not offering more to control Windows and scripts and such but even still many questions aren't able to be answered or need a web search when even many apps digital manuals (the ones with the purple box in Windows XP ones) are kind of it or needed more or whatever the case.

Offering assistance or having companies go wait our audience looks to fans/creators doing that work for us. I mean well yeah because some things company staff in some department don't uncover or QA or they don't need to so how much control and solutions do they need? Sometimes it's just something that happens. Or we don't need perfect games. To me imperfections make them more interesting but also copy paste games AAA or nostalgic Indies don't help either.

I mean even Roller Coaster Tycoon having NPC guests using an umbrella in the rain (so different states and models of characters, I mean you can have any colour for an object or any name appear in a text space) to me I was like wait they are doing that in GTA I mean cool but what why is that a big deal small things like that come and go or some are new but some aren't it just depends on the games people play and what they see in them.
