A ResetEra user discovered that Microsoft's new version of Gaming Copilot AI is sending screenshots and recorded videos of users' gaming content back to Microsoft servers.The AI ​​assistant will be automatically installed on Windows 11 computers, and Microsoft will use the data to further train its AI model.This setting is on by default, which means that unless the user manually turns it off, Microsoft will continue to use the player's game time to train the AI.

When the user opens the Game Bar and goes to Settings → Privacy Settings, they will see that the "Text-based model training" option is enabled by default.

Although Gaming Copilot also provides the option to train through voice conversations during games, this feature is not turned on by default.If the user actually uses the service, the system will also record personalized settings, memory data, and all conversation records between the user and Gaming Copilot.

Users can turn off these settings through the following path: Enter the game bar → Gaming Copilot → Settings gear icon in the lower left corner → Privacy settings.In this interface, users can turn off the training option, or at least explicitly choose whether to allow Gaming Copilot to use their own game screens for training, rather than passively accepting the default enabled setting.

In the past month, Microsoft's reputation among gamers has continued to decline: the price of the Xbox Series console has increased for the second time this year in the US market, and the price of the Xbox development kit has also been adjusted accordingly, which means that even game developers need to pay higher costs for Xbox hardware.Xbox Game Pass subscription fees skyrocketed by 50%, and discounts and reward programs for Xbox software and services were terminated.During this period, Microsoft may also launch a new version of cloud games with advertising.
