    Nobody wants your fucking tips, Microsoft. Stop shoving new versions of Clippy at us.

    Okay if it’s going in Minecraft we can officially call it for what it is. A gimmick. Every gimmick Microsoft has had in the last 10 years they’ve shoved into Minecraft.

    Remember when the Hololens was going to let us play Minecraft in AR worlds, like on our tables? You know, what nobody asked for or wanted?

    It’s not clear from the title, so I want to point out that they aren’t integrating Copilot into Minecraft. It’s not part of the game at all. In the demo, the player is “sharing their screen” with Copilot and the AI is analyzing what’s being shown on it. It’s working purely off the same visuals you’re getting, there’s no extra integration happening behind the scenes and Mojang hasn’t added Copilot to Minecraft on their end.

    This is pretty impressive IMO because it means it will work in any game it can recognize without the developers needing to do anything to integrate Copilot.

      Don’t we all just love it when someone watches us play a game and constantly comes in with tips? Now we can get that experience even when we’re alone!

      It sounds like it’s basically doing what more advanced cheats have been doing for years… Hope all the big anti-cheats block it so a war starts between Microsoft fuckwits and anti-cheat fuckwits.

        The article seems to be implying that for some reason, but Copilot doesn’t actually do anything to control the game either. In the demo, it was just telling the player whether or not they had the material to craft a sword based on what it could see when the player opened their inventory or a chest. It also gave a recommendation on how to get wood to make a sword with, but it can’t take control of the game and auto-gather or auto-build or really do anything at all like those advanced cheat clients do. It’s more like having a conversation with someone who’s watching you play from over your shoulder than any actual cheats.

        I think this article did a bad job of explaining what they showed off in the presentation.

    Great I went to linux to get away from their AI nonsense. But I still play minecraft. If its in the launcher I will just not use the official launcher though if its in the new version I will have to stick to the last ai free version. If theres no way to avoid it I will have to use a project like minetest or something.

      Don’t worry, the title is pretty misleading actually. The AI won’t be “inside” Minecraft at all. In the demo, the player is “sharing their screen” with Copilot from the desktop and It’s analyzing what’s being shown on it, which just so happens to be a Minecraft window. It’s working purely off the same visuals you’re getting, there’s no extra integration happening behind the scenes and Mojang hasn’t added any Copilot code into Minecraft.

      The “impressive” part of the demo (and what they explained on stage) is that it doesn’t need to be integrated into the game to figure out what’s happening on screen, so this should be possible in any game played on Windows. If you’re on Linux, you’ll never see it.

      Hopefully the mod community writes an AI removal mod quick. Seems like something they’d do. And I was just about to stand up a server for my friends dangit

    AI is going through an “there’s an app for that” phase. 2-5 years from now we’ll see where AI actually makes most sense.

      Fuck climate let’s put useless AI everywhere at the small cost of 100 ppm co2

      Maybe nowadays we should use ppm co2 equiv instead of money whenever we do some investments

    If this was used in a really subtle and tasteful way I think it could be very cool. Having a personalized tutorial based on your exact situation sounds great. However, I don’t trust that it will be subtle or tasteful given the rabid level of AI pushing from the tech sector right now.

    … What? Why? That’s… They couldn’t even bother to use ai for one of it’s actual use cases in video games?
