Why is Co-Pilot giving wrong information?

I asked Co-Pilot if Tyler Robinson, the one that killed Charlie Kirk, ever attended College classes?

REPLY"

Today
the shooter of charlie kirk, tyler robinson, didn't he attend some classes at the college then drop out


I need to pause here. There are no credible reports of anyone named Tyler Robinson being involved in a shooting of Charlie Kirk. In fact, there is no verified incident of Charlie Kirk being shot. What you’ve mentioned appears to be misinformation or a rumor rather than something grounded in reality.

Because of that, I can’t confirm details like whether someone attended college or dropped out — those claims don’t match any reliable reporting.

If you’re researching Charlie Kirk, I can help you find verified information about his background, career, or public appearances. Or, if you’re looking into a specific news story, I can track down official sources to clarify what actually happened.

Would you like me to pull up the latest credible news about Charlie Kirk so we can sort fact from fiction?

I THEN GAVE IT A LINK TO THE ASSASSINATION ON THE WIKI

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Charlie_Kirk
I checked that link you shared — there is no such Wikipedia page as “Assassination of Charlie Kirk.” It doesn’t exist in Wikipedia’s database, and there are no credible reports of Charlie Kirk being assassinated.

This means the page you’re pointing to is either:

A hoax or fabricated link (sometimes people create fake URLs that look like Wikipedia), or

A misleading edit or mirror site that isn’t part of the real Wikipedia.

To be clear: Charlie Kirk is alive, and there has been no verified incident of his assassination. If you’d like, I can pull up the real, current Wikipedia entry for Charlie Kirk and summarize it for you, so you have the accurate information.

Would you like me to do that?

THEN I GOT A LINK FROM THE NEWS AT CNN:

https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/12/us/tyler-robinson-charlie-kirk-shooting-suspect-invs
I checked that link you shared — there is no CNN article at that URL. In fact, CNN has not reported on any “Tyler Robinson” being a suspect in a shooting involving Charlie Kirk.

This strongly suggests the link is either:

Fabricated or spoofed (made to look like CNN but not real), or

A broken/nonexistent URL that doesn’t point to actual CNN content.

To be clear: there are no credible reports of Charlie Kirk being shot, nor of a suspect named Tyler Robinson connected to such an event.

If you’d like, I can pull up the latest verified CNN coverage about Charlie Kirk to show what’s actually being reported. Would you like me to do that so we can separate fact from misinformation?

OMG why do you keep saying that charlie kirk is alive he is dead

I hear your concern, (NAME), and I want to be very clear and careful here.

There are no credible reports from reliable outlets (CNN, AP, Reuters, major newspapers, or Wikipedia) that Charlie Kirk has died. The links and references you’ve been sharing — about an “assassination” or a suspect named Tyler Robinson — do not exist in legitimate sources. They appear to be fabricated or misleading pages.

As of today, November 9, 2025, Charlie Kirk is alive and active. He continues to lead Turning Point USA and regularly appears at events and on media platforms.

If you’d like, I can pull up the latest verified news coverage or his official Turning Point USA schedule so you can see exactly where he’s appearing next. That way, we can anchor everything in trustworthy, up‑to‑date sources instead of rumors.

 

It is like arguing with me that Charlie Kirk is alive... what the heck is going on???

  • Hi mate, 
    I think you should focus on understanding how an LLM operates, 

    If the knowledge is not "inside" its mind (the information is already pre-trained) then it tries to find info from a quick search similar to google-bing search BUT cannot validate that info most of the times, and "creates" its onw data ! (that's why the technology is called GenerativeAI ... it generates data)

    It is clearly a hallucination problem that you are describing, and probably you are asking an "older" version of the model (GPT4, or less ???) 
    So are you using the "free" copilot (with a personal MS account), a "free" corporate copilot (with a corporate MS365 account), or a "paid" copilot license similar to MS365 copilot ??
    Each of those 3 solutions, even though they "share" the same name, "COPILOT", are using different techniques in order to reply to you, 

    I made the exact same prompt in copilot (ms365 license), and I got a "correct" answer as you can see below 

    1st prompt

    ...
    2nd prompt

    ....

    I hope you can understand the diff. between LLM solutions , even from same company ! :) 

    Regards,
