They are leveraging AI to squash bugs instead of whiney cunt blue hair unionized shit bags who complain about working 30 hours a week.
It's the handful of times I do not mind AI putting people out of a job - especially when they are as worthless as QA unions in gaming.

Xbox’s Matt Booty Asked Microsoft To Invent AI Bot QA Testers For Games
Xbox's Matt Booty, speaking at PAX West, had a whole lot of thoughts on the idea of AI-based QA testing, given the demands of modern games, but his comments are bound to generate controversy given that QA has long been an underpaid, underappreciated part of game development, and the mistreatment..

They implemented four months ago. A few support models below.
AI for Testing - Microsoft Research
AI-driven test case generation for Visual Studio and VSCode

And another good reason Acti/Blizz QA will be getting their ass kicked out of dodge come closing time.

Is there anything you've seen that indicates that BGS is using this? There's a lot of AI chaffe over the last year.Xbox’s Matt Booty Asked Microsoft To Invent AI Bot QA Testers For Games

Common sense really.
Game Testing
Quality assurance is critical to your game's success—even after it’s shipped. From test plans and bug-reporting tools to crash and health diagnostics, you can make sure your creation gets the attention (and QA) it deserves. With Visual Studio and Azure DevOps, deploy and test on thousands of...

Space flight was overhauled within about 9 months and Microsoft has the tools built out specifically for gaming.
(Just like Booty stated in 2022)
Todd actually comes right out and specifically says they used something like that. timestamped:

That sounds absolutely nothing like AI, but really standard game testing stuff that's been around since the 90s. He even goes out of his way to call it dumb.

Yeah this doesn't sound like what Mr. Booty was talking about. Some AI that uses a deep learning network of some kind to learn how to play and then being fed a bunch of savepoints and immediate goals would be interesting. I haven't seen anyone talk about testing games like this.

Yeah that video was 8 months ago but they were using their own testing pilots as you can see in the video. The first part is basic crash testing and object load/streaming stress.
They started in on the real stuff in June after the MS Co-Pilot announcement from March. That last part where Todd is talking about a scripted bot that can run through the beginning quests - that has expanded through machine learning and they have over 2,000 instances of the game being played in all aspects gauging scripting errors, typos, object clipping, Z-Axis alignment, memory leaks, streaming issues, core dumps, frame testing, frame limiting, tears - to name a few.
Will be interesting to find out here in about 3 days for early access how it all panned out.

I'm about 80% sure you're capping and are assuming way too much integration of Microsoft's broad array of technology with literally a subsidiary (BGS) of a subsidiary (zenimax) of a subsidiary (xbox game studios).

No idea what capping is. Not assuming anything. I already know what's being used. Why is this such a big deal for you? Do you work QA and worried about your job?
Microsoft is heavily involved and has been assisting in the development of Starfield for a while now since it was in early production.
