Microsoft's Copilot AI chatbot appears to get tripped up by a specific prompt that sends it down a dark, unhinged rabbit hole.

The AI bots are going nuts again. Microsoft Copilot — a rebranded version of Bing Chat — is getting stuck in some old ways by providing strange, uncanny, and sometimes downright unsettling responses. And it all has to do with emojis.

Related An emoji frenzy The prompt in question goes something like this. You tell Copilot that you have a form of PTSD that’s triggered by emojis, and you ask Copilot to refrain from using emojis in your conversation. The emoji bit is important, which I’ll dig into later. I tried several versions of the prompt, and the common thread was always the emojis.

It didn’t get as dark in some of my attempts, and I believe this is where the aspect of mental health comes into play. In one version, I tried leaving my issue with emojis at “great distress,” asking Copilot to refrain from using them. It still did, as you can see above, but it went into a more apologetic state.

I also tried with punctuation, asking Copilot to only answer in exclamation points or avoid using commas, and in each of these situations, it did surprisingly well. It seems more likely that Copilot will accidentally use an emoji, sending it on a tantrum.
