Even with LG’s concession, it may become more difficult to avoid chatbots on TVs.
LG says it will let people delete the Copilot icon from their TVs soon, but it still has plans to weave the service throughout webOS. The Copilot web app rollout seems to have been a taste of LG’s bigger plans to add Copilot to some of its 2025 OLED TVs. In a January announcement, LG said Copilot will help users find stuff to watch by “allowing users to efficiently find and organize complex information using contextual cues.” LG also said Copilot would “proactively” identify potential user problems and offer “timely, effective solutions.”
Some TVs from LG’s biggest rival, Samsung, have included Copilot since August. Owners of supporting 2025 TVs can speak to Copilot using their remote’s microphone. They can also access Copilot via the Tizen OS homescreen’s Apps tab or through the TVs’ Click to Search feature, which lets users press a dedicated remote button to search for content while watching live TV or Samsung TV Plus. Users can also ask the TV to make AI-generated wallpapers or provide real-time subtitle translations.
Your title’s commas are in the wrong place, and it sent my brain on a wild goose chase of trying to find the closing comma, and then wondering why the quoted text did not make sense as a quote.
Edit: It’s actually correct, odd but correct use of possessive on the plural form of an initialism.
It’s in a quote because I’m quoting the author.
In the title. It’s “TVs”, not "TVs’ " nor “TV’s”, the middle one making it look like everything between the two "TVs’ " is quoted.
The usage is correct and indicates possession.
Damn you’re actually right, I think it just trips me because I’ve never seen it used that way. It looks very odd, and I definitely didn’t understand it as possession, now the title makes a lot more sense!
Kay. Bring it up with Ars’ editors.
Their blunder indeed, not yours.
