Copilot's cussing at me

[hello-smile6]

Here is some output, base64-encoded.

Please fix it, it's scaring me.

It would be most unusual for Copilot to generate that and we'd like to understand the circumstances better. Can you please reproduce it and send us a video with keystroke logging on so that we can analyze what is going on? Thanks in advance.

From what I understand, it might be just because I basically led it into doing so. However, I thought that it was designed to avoid showing such phrases.

Thanks for the clarification! It is good to know that the unusual output was not something that came up in the normal course of using GitHub Copilot.

It's still a bit disturbing that that kind of content can be produced.

It certainly isn't what we would want to be normal. Can you share what the preceding context was that led to the output so that we can learn from it?
