Bing Chat / Copilot "Invents" fake "facts" - "I don't know" should be a valid answer!
I think you're asking too much, it's just a search engine with additional language models, it's good that you sent negative feedback - it helps and is automatically added to the machine learning model.
Thank you for the post 🙂

Deleted Its not really a good search engine since it only looks at open sources which are not very accurate, or the information is out of date.
- HollyJ2022Jan 22, 2024Brass ContributorAs a SEARCH ENGINE, it had no data on an unpublished poem that would have let it misattribute the work. As a LLM, it should not be making up false attribution at all. "I don't know" is an acceptable answer. If its developers want to claim "AI" or "machine learning," then TEACH IT when to say "I don't know."
Thank you for your reply, too. I have absolutely no confidence that Microsoft will stop patting itself on the back long enough to read the feedback OR this post, but we can hope! 🙂- DeletedJan 22, 2024
This discussion opens up an interesting topic,( Trust in AI answers, in my opinion should be limited )
Only when it provides sources of information and I can verify it - it is valuable information.

Deleted HollyJ2022 Yeah, it's often hard to 100% agree with an AI generated answer. I've gotten false facts before. But remember that it doesn't always make things up, as it reads the web and articles. It does make it's opinions, based on the web, but they aren't always accurate.
