Because the concentration span of every new generation keeps decreasing. If they don't figure out things immediately, they get frustrated and do sth else like scroll TikTok to get the instant dopamine boost.

That's the idea, but you need to pay for the game first so that MS can enjoy it.

They've been trying so hard, and they've got nothing.

They went all-in on mystifying predictive text, enjoy your slop.

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.

Microslop trying to ease the comming AI bubble crash by forcing AI down our throat?

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

Microslop has always failed upwards.

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?

You know the one

There's one person. He is bald and has a very chokeable trachea.

AI Georg, who asks for this 10,000 times per day, is an outlier and should not have been counted

Data miners. Mining minors.

No. But you can use it to get misinformation.
