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?

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.”

“Yes, but the DLCs will make it better!”

“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?
