Thanks! I will think about it when I finish dealing with the lighting/stealth :)

Copilot for gaming is a time-saver, a convenience tool, and an exp-booster that short-circuits players' strive for mastery and exploration.

You can employ user-centred design for some parts of a game, such as menus and control schemes, but not for the gameplay. If you want to see games which use a user-centred approach, look at mobile gaming: press a button to finish a quest, press again to get a reward, press another to beat the boss.

This is a proven software design approach, but not in game development, for one simple reason: the player's goal is not to finish the game but to experience it.

From the design perspective, employing AI to help you solve in-game problems points to a user-centred approach: focus on usability, meaning users should be able to reach their goals efficiently.

This is an irony of automation: if you delegate something to a machine, you stop practising it, and without practice, you cannot become better. There are exceptions, and I, personally, can give examples, but the overall picture is not so good.

Copilot can also help you get unstuck, overcome obstacles, make decisions and become more successful in a game. Unfortunately, AI assistants often do not make you better at whatever you are doing.

Copilot can recommend what to play and how to play it. In other words, it can replace the social aspect of gaming—playing with your parents, children, and friends, asking others for recommendations—the experience that the hosts deem valuable. But then, they want to replace this experience with AI.

Of course, if "reading" for you means only reading letters and words, then it is not a problem. However, reading is also understanding the text, interpreting its meaning, applying this meaning to yourself and empathising with characters. Yes, you can get stuck at those.

First, podcast hosts say gaming is the only entertainment where you can be stuck. That's untrue. Try reading Kafka.
