In an unexpected twist, the Microsoft Copilot artificial intelligence app has made its debut on LG TV's webOS system. It automatically installed itself on users' TVs following a system update and, initially, seemed impossible to uninstall. This move triggered a flurry of discussions and a degree of dissatisfaction among users. As of now, the precise functionalities of this app on TVs are still shrouded in mystery.
It's speculated that Microsoft might be using this as a strategic move to broaden its AI application market and introduce its offerings to Linux user communities. There's also a possibility that other TV operating systems might follow suit and integrate dedicated versions of this app, a prospect that has raised concerns among some users.
In addition to this, LG TV's "Live Plus" feature adds another layer of complexity. This feature is capable of identifying the content currently being played on the TV and generating personalized recommendations and advertisements based on that. Although users have the option to disable this feature, they might still find themselves unable to completely prevent AI from analyzing their viewing habits in order to offer tailored content suggestions.
