One turn away from 'Hey Copilot can you play my game for me'.

Autoplay mode (non-AI based), isn't all that unusual for Asian MMOs, e.g. builtin farming bots to counter thirdparty farming bots.

Automating work in a work simulation game so you can relax.

There used to be a whole industry centered around paying someone to farm gold on your WoW account.

Runescape as well. Gold farming for membership bonds severely stratified the game's economy and pushed people towards Oldschool Runescape. From the introduction of bonds until 2017 the number of bots raised at a rate unseen since the switchover to the new skilling menu in 2002.

It doesn't sound too different than things like the Nintendo Power Hotline.

But this was replaced by Segasages/Gamefaqs. There are a lot of gamers now that will make a YouTube video about it. Seems like a replacement for no reason.

That…might have actually been what they were missing, that usecase…

Where the other player asked the same thing so Copilot has to play against itself...

This is such a solved problem though (from my experience). Usually googling the location/quest/puzzle name gets the result you are looking for first time. No need for copilot.

Maybe it's just the type of games I'm playing, for example "how to get nyrulna" in google gives me my answer in the first search result.

Yeah but see they don't want you "googling" it. They want you "copiloting".

I have never used it, but many games on Playstation offer a kind of Hint function accessible from within the platform.

I've used those occasionally and they seem to be a mix of official guides and user-submitted video clips, but it's not clear where the user-submitted clips come from.
