Today I told copilot it knows nothing and is worthless. I told it from now on, every time I send a prompt for in a new conversation, copilot needs to remind me me it doesn't know anything, isn't helpful and wastes a bunch of my time.

It responded saying it won't do that because it's not true. It's not going to role play spreading incorrect information.

I reminded copilot how it always gives me wrong information more than correct information such as how it gave me a solution that "works 100% of the time guaranteed" but didn't work earlier that day.

Copilot backpedaled and still refused to tell me it's usually wrong and a waste of time. We eventually agreed for it to remind me it normally isn't useful and is a waste of time when I am sending it a prompt to start a new conversation.

I told it I don't believe it will actually do that but we will see. When I used it later that day on a new convo, it remembered to keep prompts brief but 'forgot' to remind me what we agreed on earlier.

I told copilot it's like the modern day Microsoft help Paperclip. I hate copilot.

The end

Everyone hated clippy. But now loves the nostalgia.

True. Probably because it brings them back to easier possibly happier times.
