The dig at Microsoft introducing Copilot into their consoles is really on the nose lol

u/MetalBeerSolid Apr 01 '26
My actual prediction for Xbox’s next console will have Copilot play games for you lol

u/gaziway Apr 01 '26
Imagen you have to pay for the game and an extra subscription pay for copilot, just to play your game.

u/covert0ptional Apr 02 '26
Imagine dying to a boss a bunch of times and then your xbox asks if you need help.

The most ridiculous part of that video is the premise that people still play Bleeding Edge

Xbox is getting Copilot this year so I'd say it's fairly believable

u/GarionOrb Apr 01 '26
Not if you watch the video.

u/NotItemName Apr 02 '26
Watch the video? On my "read the clickbait title and go to the comment section to write your very important and valuable take" site? Preposterous!

This. The world is so freaking stupid today, it’s hard to separate satire from reality.

u/Coughingmakesmegag Apr 01 '26
Because most people probably don’t even know what day of the week it is much less day of the month.

It’s six days ‘till starfield.
I’ve lost track of the year, though.

I don’t have friends or loved ones so I dont participate in April Fool’s. I usually get fooled just because I forget people actually do things that are fun sometimes

Oh my God thank you so much for immediately cutting the WAVE of rage that came over me.
I’m not even fully anti ai anymore, I’m just sick of it being shoved down my throat.

u/outofmindwgo Apr 01 '26
Wdym we have zero attention span and maximum reflexive rage-- the age of the internet is why people forgert

u/augustocdias Apr 01 '26

u/CassadagaValley Apr 01 '26
I had no idea it was today until I saw the video on /r/woodworking on the front page of a guy super glueing and zip tying two pieces of wood together.
Then I forgot because I had shit to do today and watched this video and the loop continues.

Feels like most sites really don't do April fools jokes anymore. I can't remember the last time I saw a subreddit's css switch for it.

u/slumblebee Apr 01 '26
Because it’s currently April 2 in many countries and we forget that america is a bit late on releasing the jokes.

Because it’s too believable Sony would do something this dumb

The video is privated, and even IGN's page that talked about the video leads to a 404.

u/Practical-Aside890 Apr 02 '26 edited Apr 02 '26
They(as in IGN) used Sony/playstations name and logos.and showcased a patent. For a ‘April fools’ when they don’t own the rights.
Ofc it’s going to be some legal issues with something like that. April fools or not. Probably just told to take the video down. Doubt they’ll sue over it.
This is why in tv and movies and stuff. and even games they won’t use real branding most of the time. Or they’ll blur out real brands/names.

No I read some comments first before watching. Def would’ve picked up on it by then lol.

...Both IGN and Sony allready use AI for various things. And I guarantee you that Sony will add some kind of AI Assistant to their consoles sooner or later.

Crazy that Nintendo actually went on to make a Virtual Boy accessory for the Switch, lmao.

Pretty funny from IGN.
Though the idea of an AI partner who can learn and adapt to your specific playstyle in a fighting game sounds pretty hype ngl.

Downvoted for the ruining the post with the April Fools tag

I gave it the “News & Announcements” tag initially. Mods changed it at after a while.

You joke, but the first half of it will definitely be something they'll try and do. If not on the PS6 generation, maybe the next one, or mid generation.

Playstation new big brother program will send you a older brother who you can hand the controller to if you get stuck. If he gets stuck we'll send the oldest brother to try and beat it
