The Microsoft Copilot artificial intelligence application accidentally appeared on the webOS system of LG TVs, sparking widespread discussion among users. According to feedback from Reddit user u/defjam16, their LG TV automatically installed this AI app after an update, and there was no option to uninstall it. This situation has caused dissatisfaction among many users, especially as the deep integration of AI into daily devices is becoming increasingly inevitable.

At this point, the specific functions of Copilot AI on TVs are still unclear, but Microsoft clearly aims to expand its influence in the AI application market, striving to make Copilot the preferred platform for users to perform AI queries. It is worth noting that the webOS operating system used by LG is based on Linux, and Microsoft may be using this opportunity to pave the way for promoting Copilot to a broader Linux user base.

Data shows that Linux systems account for about 3% of the PC market. Therefore, other TV operating systems may also face the risk of being integrated with a dedicated version of Microsoft Copilot AI, which undoubtedly worries users who do not want to perform AI tasks on their TVs.

Additionally, there is a feature on LG TVs called "Live Plus." When this feature is enabled, the TV can identify the content being played and generate personalized recommendations and advertisements based on that information. LG officially refers to this feature as an "enhanced viewing experience," although users can disable this option in the settings menu. However, turning off this feature may not prevent AI from analyzing users' viewing habits to provide customized content recommendations.
