Tone-deaf Xbox executive urges laid off employees to talk to Copilot for emotional support
Following 9,000 layoffs, a seemingly tone-deaf Xbox executive has recommended those impacted to turn to AI tools like Copilot for emotional clarity.
Matt Turnbull, an Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing, recently made a LinkedIn post, emphasizing that he'd be "remiss in not trying to offer the best advice" he could to laid-off workers in these trying times. This "best" advice is to turn to AI assistants like Copilot and ChatGPT for emotional support and to reduce cognitive load.

Didn't some other gaming company have a similar controversy a few years back?
