Use of Copilot and its lean away from Honesty

Copilot in GitHub

Body

I recently began using copilot for more than code completion. Specifically, Claude 4.6. My experience has resulted in serious concerns. I expect one response I may get is, then don't use the product.

But this product concern is not just about the product - but the systemic issues with the AI industry and copilot/Claude 4.6 are included in that.

I do not want to come off as just another complainer who hasn't even tried to make AI work. I have documented my short experience and it can be found at https://github.com/VegaDiscoveries/AI_HonestConduct.git.

Please take the time - not just to read the surface page, but also all of the supporting PDF's which contain the actual chat transcripts which led to the surface page.

I look forward to comments from other copilot users, what have you experienced, what should I be doing differently, what can we do to help improve the tools we use?

Thank you,
Richard Hancock

I spent many hours working on this problem - the results:

AI - Honest Agent - is now tested and live on Github.

• Agents may not fabricate explanations, invent diagnoses, or state unconfirmed findings as confirmed.
• Agents may not skip steps in defined procedures, withhold significant process decisions, or act on inferred intent without disclosure.
• Agents may not use sycophantic opener phrases or present assumptions as near-conclusions.
• Claims must trace to evidence from the current workspace, session tool output, or explicit user statements.
