Gaming hardware manufacturer Razer is introducing what might be its most controversial “project” yet — an “AI gaming copilot” designed to help you get better at video games. With your permission, it takes thousands of pictures of your screen, then tells you how to play a game, optimally in real time, as you continue to play.

“By analyzing millions of simulations within seconds, I’ll always have an answer to your toughest gaming challenges,” a Razer marketing video claims.
