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.

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

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
