Copilot doesn't like it when it's questioned about Microsoft's certain actions? (lemmy.ml)

This might also be an automatic response to prevent discussion. Although I'm not sure since it's MS' AI.

I get Copilot to bail on conversations so often like your example that I'm only using it for help with programming/code snippets at this point. The moment you question accuracy, bam, chat's over.

I asked if there was a Copilot extension for VS Code, and it said yup, talked about how to install it, and even configure it. That was completely fabricated, and as soon as I asked for more detail to prove it was real, chat's over.

That would force them to reveal it's sources (unconsented scraping) hence make them liable for any potential lawsuits. As such they would need to withdraw from revealing sources
