Something weird about links to posts on this forum (Copilot)

[InnerBrat]

Hi,

I've been using Copilot to search online for info and it gives me links to this forum which don't work at all, and even if I search with their title as keyword nothing is found.
Is Copilot inventing content?
Or was there some change of server here and some posts got lost but somehow can still be found by copilot?

Here some of the links: (EDIT: I saw after posting that the 3 links "changed" and go to the forum's homepage. But if you hover on them, you can see the address)

Actually the links it gives me don't have the %2F=&form=MG0AV3 at the end, it gets added once the link opens here.

Comparing them to a link from a post of mine I've tried substituting the %2F after threads with a /, and taking the %2F=&form=MG0AV3 out.
But weird things happen and I'm directed to completely different posts.
For instance, if I go to https://www.ntlite.com/community/index.php?threads/customizing-boot-and-install-wims.120 I arrive here instead: https://www.ntlite.com/community/in...-still-asking-for-account-during-install.120/

I thought maybe you'd be interested.

AI is delusional. Didn't you play Halo 5?

Most web servers (or their PHP or CGI scripts) will ignore extraneous "&" tags they don't understand.
I have no idea what "&form=MG0AV3" is supposed to do.

These two URL's are not the same:

https://www.ntlite.com/community/index.php?threads%2Fdriver-integration-in-boot-images.78%2F=&form=MG0AV3
https://www.ntlite.com/community/index.php?threads%2Fdriver-integration-in-boot-images.78%2F&form=MG0AV3

The first one is malformed, the second one is acceptable to this forum's Xenforo software platform.

Yeah, "AI hallucination" is a thing in reality and makes any current AI unreliable and unfit for anything else but entertainment which too many people fail to see, including big corpo CEOs. Problems are being reported with anything from Google Search AI returning harmful bullshit to support chatbots misleading customers (and causing real life legal problems and financial damages) to corporate AI software causing problems for institutions by "inventing" crap, causing liability issues for HR departments or academic AI application citing non-existing sources, etc.

I've seen myself people posting stuff from ChatGPT and Copilot on various support forums, as their own responses, that were outright false, confused or made up. People are forgetting how to use their own brains.

It's kind of bad but most people seem not to care. It's really going in the wrong direction. Someone needs to put some breaks on this AI craze.

When AI can't figure something out it makes it up. Kinda like some humans The tech is just too primitive at the moment and really doesn't deserve to be even called AI. Though humans hallucinate too
