The source is one single user on ResetEra, that doesn’t post any proof.
Another user refuted the claims and posted logs, that show what gets sent, which seemingly doesn’t include any Copilot data. The AI part only happens, when you actually ask a question to Copilot (duh). So the thread gets closed.
The article omits the second part of course, and everybody in this thread is just foaming at the mouth, because it’s Microsoft, so it has to be true.
If I were Microsoft, this is exactly how I would convince users that Copilot is totally okay. Say something that’s worse than what they’re doing and then debunk that. At least MS is not spying on my games! You guys are just blowing things out of proportion.
I was foaming at the mouth because I don’t like copilot so nothing change for me. Still outraged for the same reason. Really wish they made the AI stuff modular so people can use apps without it we know why they don’t.
The Copilot part for the Game Bar is a Widget, that you can independently disable.
Even then, from what is written in the thread, it’s not like it actually does anything, unless you specifically use the Copilot feature for the Game Bar.
The only thing that might rub people the wrong way is that the widget is enabled by default.
It still can be true, if Microsoft does an A/B testing. Some may get it earlier than others and this could result in different realities. Edit: Note, I am not saying it is true, just adding some spice that it still can be. I’m also skeptical about single unproofed claims, even if I don’t like Microsoft.
“Adding some spice” is just ragebaiting, be honest. We have no idea what they’re doing and have zero proof they are doing what’s asserted, but we want to make a narrative that it could happen anyway.

Widget can’t be uninstalled short of uninstalling the entire xbox app.

That is exactly what I’m saying here. You can’t exclude or conclude based on your personal beliefs if you have no proof for or against it.
It has become a strange obsession for some, indeed.
See? That’s how you turn the situation and blame the users. Now we’re no longer talking about Microsoft being shady.
