    Who asked for this? Beyond Microsoft executives who want to justify their paycheck, I mean.

    Though really there might be good entertainment value for a few streamers out there. Use it on a niche game or a fairly complex one and laugh at the inevitable hallucinated bullshit as the assistant pretends to know about it.

    Edit : just read it was on a “list of supported games”. Booo. Cowards.

      Microsoft rolled out an AI chatbot for minecraft a few weeks ago and it is completely useless (unless you are asking about the marketplace). I feel like you won’t even need to be playing a niche game for it to hallucinate.

      These features get built because Microsoft and other tech companies evaluate staff on “AI use” and building AI features.

      That means everyone has to build AI shit or get put on a PIP.

        Yeah, I am sure that’s what happened too. That’s part of what I called executives justifying their paycheck, because it’s a direct consequence. Make sure everyone below gets in on the program, or get rid of them.

        Fantastic, then maybe it has the potential to be very confidently wrong about everything!

            I’ve played the first two Discworld point and click games. Let me tell you, I might have believed you if you told me that was a true hint for the first one.

            Even knowing the books it got its inspiration from won’t help you with some of its “puzzles”.

      I tried WoW for the first time a few months ago. I was hanging in voice chat with perplexity live mode, asking it about the meta, to give me estimations on gearing up (both money and time) and to give me extra lore context and information about pricing, content per expansion and so on.

      I also used it to get instant summaries and info in arena breakout, and help me regain context when I’ve stopped playing a game for a while (I have to do X quest now, what has happened?).

      I’m not going to use this specific thing from microsoft, but LLM are incredible tools for interfacing with non structured data through natural language. The AI assistants are going to be huge.
