Microsoft thinks trash-talking AI can help you game better

With the rise of tech companies shoving AI into every nook and cranny of our lives, Microsoft has done the inevitable, revealing a fresh AI for gamers called Copilot for Gaming. As you can guess, it's Copilot, but now it can apparently trash-talk gamers. It's all very "how do you do fellow kids," and while there may be some usefulness to having a constantly accessible AI assistant when gaming, one has to wonder how many gamers actually want an AI assistant for gaming in the first place, or why an existing AI needs a gamer skin to begin with.
