Samsung has announced that Microsoft Copilot is officially coming to its 2024 smart TVs, promising a smarter and more interactive experience for users. The integration allows viewers to use voice commands, ask AI-powered questions, and even receive recommendations directly on their TV screen. While it sounds futuristic, not everyone is excited about talking to artificial intelligence just to watch Netflix or YouTube.
For many, the beauty of a smart TV lies in its simplicity—turn it on, pick an app, and start streaming. Adding Copilot into the mix feels like an extra step that not all viewers asked for. Imagine saying, “Copilot, open Netflix and play Stranger Things,” when a few button presses on the remote would have done the job faster.
That’s not to say the feature doesn’t have its perks. Copilot can answer trivia, help with content discovery, and even provide summaries of shows or news updates. For households that already use AI assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant, this might feel like a natural extension. But for everyday binge-watchers, it could come off as unnecessary tech clutter.
This move highlights a bigger trend—tech companies pushing AI into nearly every aspect of our digital lives. From phones to laptops and now TVs, AI is becoming unavoidable. Still, the question remains: do users really want it in their living rooms when all they crave is a stress-free movie night?
At the end of the day, Copilot on Samsung TVs might appeal to some, but for many, the old-fashioned remote control is still the most reliable co-pilot for streaming.
