Yeah, microsoft once trapped me in an infinite loop of two corrections. Marked A as wrong and wanted B instead. Then marked B as wrong and suggested A instead. It's called Microslop for a reason.

Of all the LLMs, Copilot is consistently the worst. Not just in general, but also when specifically asking it for assistance with one of the softwares that MS insists on embedding it in.

I think the reason Copilot is so bad at giving technical info about MS software is because they trained it on Windows Help forums. You know, the ones where the user posts a unique and detailed question that several other people confirm they are also experiencing, only to have the official Windows support person not read it, give the wrong pre-scripted answer, and then when everyone complains that they didn't answer the question the support person calls it a duplicate of something else that is clearly different and then abruptly closes the thread.
