You can now try Microsoft's Gaming Copilot AI assistant on PC
Microsoft revealed that it was working on an AI chatbot specifically for gamers back in March, and now it's here for a test drive. The beta version of Gaming Copilot is available to Xbox Insiders on PC via the Game Bar functionality. It's also available to try on Windows-based handheld gaming devices, but the company says the functionality there is currently limited. A variant of this tool recently launched as a beta for mobile . This is kind of like an AI version of those old Nintendo phone help lines. The chat box appears as an overlay on the screen and players can use it to ask questions about the game they're playing. Microsoft says this tool has been designed to help players traverse obstacles and that it "knows what you're playing and understands your Xbox activity." The system uses in-game screenshots to make sure it's providing useful advice. With that in mind, Gaming Copilot can also offer suggestions about new games to buy and answer questions about system accounts. It allows for text-based and voice-based queries, assuming a microphone is connected. Microsoft says it'll be adding more features in the future, including "richer game assistance such as proactive coaching." The beta build of Gaming Copilot is only available in English at the moment, though it can be used in various regions including the US, New Zealand, Japan and Singapore.

'Freakier Friday' Review: Disney's Body-Swapping Sequel Really Rocks
For me, watching Freakier Friday -- the new sequel to the 2003 body-switch comedy starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis -- led to a change in perspective: I was now a fan of two Freaky Friday movies headlined by Lohan and Curtis. From Curtis' nostalgic and still-hilarious portrayal of waking up as a 15-year-old inhabiting her step-grandmother's body to entertaining scenes with a job-switching fortune teller (Saturday Night Live alum Vanessa Bayer), the sequel offers wacky and laugh-out-loud moments. It wouldn't work without the commitment of its stars, Curtis and Lohan. Lucky for viewers, the returning duo is evidently all in for the bigger, sillier and yes, freakier, follow-up. Glen Wilson/Disney Freakier Friday hits theaters on Friday, 22 years after the first movie. This time, two adults and two teens are involved in the body-swapping chaos. The main cast includes the pop star manager and single mom Anna (Lohan), who's 36 in the Freaky Friday-verse. There's also Anna's daughter Harper (Julia Butters) and Harper's doting psychologist grandma, Tess (Curtis). Thanks to a meet-cute at the girls' school, the family unit is expanding to include Anna's chef fiancé, Eric (Manny Jacinto), and Eric's daughter, Lily (Sophia Hammons). Harper and Lily's status as mortal enemies complicates the soon-to-be blended family. There's also the critical detail of where the familial unit will end up -- the girls are awaiting a decision on whether they will move back to Eric and Lily's London home base or stay in Los Angeles. When inevitable fortune-teller meddling and body-swapping occurs -- Lily switches with Tess and mother Anna trades places with daughter Harper -- the teens realize they can use their new bodies to break up their parents. Glen Wilson/Disney I didn't grow up with Freaky Friday, but I can understand the appeal of the early 2000s film. Lohan's young Anna is as cool as it gets, from her punk outfits to her garage band with friends. Her mom doesn't understand her issues at school and her passion for music. Anna doesn't fully accept the relationship between her mom and soon-to-be stepdad. It takes body-switching for Anna and Tess to appreciate what they had been missing about each other. Of course, in Freakier Friday, Anna's now-teen daughter doesn't see her as that effortless rock star. Anna's band, Pink Slip, achieved some fame, and Anna now works with a popular musical artist -- it takes Harper seeing that firsthand to register how exceptional her mom is. In Freakier Friday, being a teenager is depicted in a cringier light, from bedroom door notices that say "no triggering" to gluten-free requirements at high-school bake sales. I enjoyed some of the references to the first movie -- and there are many. I particularly liked the continuation of heartthrob Jake's (Chad Michael Murray) obsession with one of the first film's stars and scenes like the body-switch reveal that felt playfully exaggerated. The energy from Lohan and Curtis makes revisiting some of the same jokes fun. However, the movie packs in copious cameos -- bringing back virtually every supporting character from the first movie -- an element I found kind of tiring. There are no doubt references I missed upon first viewing. Glen Wilson/Disney The mother-daughter quest feels familiar, but adding another teen to the mix means that those two also have to figure out each other. Lohan and Curtis seem to get more screen time as bickering, scheming teens, and I had a blast following them around LA. Make no mistake, it's Lohan and Curtis' movie -- I admittedly at one point forgot who was who in the teen bodies. Curtis doesn't shy away from jokes at her expense; one scene where she reluctantly grabs items from the "senior supplies" section of a store is particularly memorable. The film's wrap-up feels rushed and underwhelming. Still, the addition of the strained relationship between two teens refreshes the plot, and the message about understanding and empathy makes an impact. Lohan and Curtis steal the show, and it's a joy to see Lohan pick up the guitar 22 years later.

South Park uses new Paramount deal to take immediate shots at Trump and his manhood
Yesterday, Matt Stone and Trey Parker officially secured a shiny new $1.5 billion contract with Paramount to produce at least five more years of South Park. A few hours later, they released an episode that seems almost engineered to make the new bosses regret that decision. South Park is really back, baby! Stone and Parker didn't pull a single punch when it came to their coverage of Trump in last night's season 27 premiere, titled 'Sermon On The Mount.' And we do mean literal Donald J. Trump, as the show emblazoned in gold on the screen during a photorealistic, deep-fake PSA depicting the president ripping his clothes off in the desert. (No more animated Mr. Garrison as a stand-in.) The PSA came near the end of the episode, as the citizens of South Park settled a lawsuit with Trump for $3.5 million, sort of like another famous settlement you may have read about recently. As part of that settlement, the town was required to mount a series of 'pro-Trump messaging,' including the aforementioned PSA. In it, the naked president gets an erection that's, uh, quite small. 'Trump: his penis is teeny-tiny, but his love for us is large,' a voiceover says over the shot. This isn't the only shot at Trump's (tiny) package throughout the episode. Earlier, he's depicted—with a photo of his real face on an animated body—lying in bed with Satan. 'Come on, Satan, you know you can't resist this,' Trump says while exposing himself. 'I can't even see anything because it's so small,' Satan responds. South Park's streaming rights may have gone for $300 million per year, but likely pissing off the leader of the free world? That's priceless. (At least for now.) More from A.V.
