    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.
