    AI is going through an “there’s an app for that” phase. 2-5 years from now we’ll see where AI actually makes most sense.

      Lol. I just found it in my works GitHub instance. I asked what files a ticket refers to and it just returned an error message.

    They can’t just add REI? They need a year of development to make a new mob but just like that they put shit AI when they could just add an item search bar that won’t burn a kilogram of coal per second.

    Okay if it’s going in Minecraft we can officially call it for what it is. A gimmick. Every gimmick Microsoft has had in the last 10 years they’ve shoved into Minecraft.

    Remember when the Hololens was going to let us play Minecraft in AR worlds, like on our tables? You know, what nobody asked for or wanted?

        Oh VR was very different, Hololens was pure AR though. VR yes there’s a ton of games I enjoy in VR

          Minecraft in VR was cool, did they drop that feature?

            Idk about be, but the AR stuff as far as I know it’s gone. That was where you could put your world on a table or something, and watch from a godlike view

    Great I went to linux to get away from their AI nonsense. But I still play minecraft. If its in the launcher I will just not use the official launcher though if its in the new version I will have to stick to the last ai free version. If theres no way to avoid it I will have to use a project like minetest or something.

      It’s very likely something like this will only exist in the Bedrock version, so there’s that. And even if they also put it in Java, there’ll be a mod to remove it very, very quickly.

      Don’t worry, the title is pretty misleading actually. The AI won’t be “inside” Minecraft at all. In the demo, the player is “sharing their screen” with Copilot from the desktop and It’s analyzing what’s being shown on it, which just so happens to be a Minecraft window. 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 any Copilot code into Minecraft.

      The “impressive” part of the demo (and what they explained on stage) is that it doesn’t need to be integrated into the game to figure out what’s happening on screen, so this should be possible in any game played on Windows. If you’re on Linux, you’ll never see it.

      Hopefully the mod community writes an AI removal mod quick. Seems like something they’d do. And I was just about to stand up a server for my friends dangit

      It could even be in everything, as long as I would have full control of it. When it runs on my computer, under my conditions and managed by me and me alone. Like how my computer used to work before Microsoft dumped all their Microsoft accounts and telemetry and adware and other horrors on us.

      An AI assistant can be mightily useful the more it knows about you. The problem is, I don’t want Microsoft, Google, Meta or even Apple to know all these things as well. And this is where the problem start. The data these assistants collect will be a goldmine. Of course “our privacy is protected”. But yeah that’s what these companies always say.

        It will be in everything, whether you like it or not. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to disable it for a significantly worse experience where most features are locked behind giving up all your personal data. More than likely you’ll be denied usage to the entire product, because the whole product will be built around AI. All this AI stuff is just another means of gobbling up as much of our data as possible.

      I feel like they’re going to try their best to do it in a profoundly stupid way, but I think games can be one of the places where AI really works.

      AI as a means for building out conversations with NPCs and strengthening other world building makes a lot of sense, but like here… They’re talking about using it to guide players away from one of the key things that make Minecraft a compelling game. Asking AI ‘How do I make a sword’ is not as compelling as figuring it out yourself with the context you have available… The beauty of Minecraft is that you can figure out the basics on your own and can extrapolate to… maybe not everything, but most things from figuring out those basic concepts.

      It’s great to see AI taking over all of the desirable creative fields and recreational hobbies! Let the robots have all the fun and get the meatbags to do the menial repetitive tasks for pennies.

      but actually having a thing you can ask highly contextual stuff like “oh where the fuck did i see that thing i need for a quest now” sounds super nice, no need to resort to scrubbing through playthroughs while trying to reconstruct a path there

        That doesn’t need AI, just some kind of tagging/mapping system either automated or manual.

      Fuck climate let’s put useless AI everywhere at the small cost of 100 ppm co2

      Maybe nowadays we should use ppm co2 equiv instead of money whenever we do some investments
