Srsly Valve needs to grow SteamOS asap Copilot for Gaming Screenshots Your Games, Uploads Them to MS, Enabled by Default by AleksandarK | Today, 10:38 | Discuss (28 Comments) 🔥 Microsoft is experimenting with integrating Copilot AI functionality across various platforms. However, this time the company is doing something that many users might not be aware of. The Gaming Copilot AI is being trained by default using users' screengrabs, performing OCR on the screenshots, and sending the extracted text back to Microsoft servers to train its large language models—all without users being informed of this process. A Resetera forum member, "RedbullCola," discovered this through network traffic analysis, noting that the Gaming Copilot AI app was transmitting data to Microsoft servers without his knowledge. To make matters worse, this occurred while he was testing a game under an NDA. This situation raises multiple security concerns, as it could potentially breach the NDA agreement between the user and the game company, risking the leakage of text from the unreleased game.

The meme shows a headline screenshot claiming that Microsoft’s Copilot for Gaming captures users’ game screenshots, extracts text with OCR, and uploads it by default. The top caption says Valve should expand SteamOS quickly, implying that privacy concerns around Microsoft’s gaming software make SteamOS look like a preferable alternative. It is shared as a sarcastic reaction to intrusive telemetry, AI surveillance, and Microsoft’s handling of user data.
