Copilot falsely claimed Martin Bernklau had been charged with and convicted of child abuse and exploiting dependents.

It also claimed that he had been involved in a dramatic escape from a psychiatric hospital and had exploited grieving women as an unethical mortician.

Copilot even went so far as to claim that it was “unfortunate” that someone with such a criminal past had a family.

Microsoft just threw its hands in the air and absolved itself of responsibility by pointing to its terms of service, in which Microsoft discards liability for content generated by Copilot .
