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.

If the AI had any actual I, it might point out that the most recent Halloween Document was from twenty years ago, and Microsoft's attitudes have changed in that time. After all, they make a lot of money from renting out Linux VMs through Azure, so it'd be silly for them to hate their revenue stream.

I'd be unsurprised if it's just set up to abandon the conversation if accused of lying, rather than defending its position.

I tried some prompts and that's exactly what it did. OP here was accusatory in their prompts, and I guess that triggered the LLM to end the conversation.

I asked it upfront about Halloween documents, and it shared that they were anti-FOSS. I asked about MS's stance on FOSS, and it shared the challenges and collaborations.
