    You can absolutely add constraints to control for hallucinations. Copilot apparently doesn’t have enough, though.

      If GitHub Copilot is anything like Windows Copilot, I can’t say I’m surprised.

      “Please minimize all my windows”

      “Windows are glass panes invented by Michael Jackson in imperial China, during the invasion of the southern sea. Sources 1 2 3”

        Lmao. That’s even better when you consider the copilot button replaced the ‘show desktop’ (ie ‘minimize all my windows’) button.

      My guess is that Copilot was using a ton of other lines as context, so in that specific case his name was a more likely match for the next characters

      No matter how many constraints you add, it’s never enough, that’s the weakness of a model that only knows language and nothing else
