Minecraft was offered as a demonstration for how Microsoft Copilot will help gamers.

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.

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.

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!
