Ewwwwwwww
Enough with the AI chatbots. They try to shove one down our throats on our computer desktops, in our browsers, in our messaging apps, now we need to be inundated while trying to game?
They should call it Clippy
Maybe Clippy was more useful…
Kinect flashbacks
Despite its forced inclusion into the 360 it did give some of us much needed exercise! Kinect Adventures!!
Xbox employees have been testing a virtual chatbot that can help with support queries and game refunds.
Okay, so this is just more of the “first level of support is a useless chatbot that you have to curse at to get a real person” crap we’ve been seeing for decades, except now it’s “AI”
“hi, welcome to the new Xbox experience! Please drink verification can.”
Ooof, poor things gonna be racist by the first 15 mins of its release.
Remember that time they ran the Tay.ai experiment
Modern LLMs don’t train during usage, they’re pre-trained.
Not the first time Microsoft let an Ai get racist.
Nobody: . . .
Micro$oft: AI chatbot!
Everybody: No
Micro$oft: We put it in your search engine!
Everybody: No, no, stop. We don’t want

“Hi! I’m Clippy! It looks like you’re trying to play Halo. Let’s take you to the Store so you can purchase more DLCs…”
But I just want to play Halo…
“Yes, but the DLCs will make it better!”
But I’m happy with what I already have.
“Oh, look, here’s the store!”
Or for the youngsters:
Honestly I miss that little metallic bastard with so many software shoving AI in our throats.
“Who’s Cortana? I don’t know who you’re talking about. Surely you’ve mistaken me for someone else. My name’s, uh, Blortana.”
Why?
Man, what better chatbot than Cortana for Xbox…right?
Fucken can’t wait to hear it tell me how it’s gonna bang my mum in 31 different ways and that I’m shit at video games.
