    Get a feeling the government will launch some sort of inquiry into antisemitism in the police to distract and brush the incompetence and cover up under the rug.

    I had to edit the title to fit on HN, original title: "Deny, deny, admit: UK police used Copilot AI “hallucination” when banning football fans"

    No No, We didn't use AI. We used this cool new windows copilot feature, look it has a button on the keyboard and everything!

    There is now the opportunity for flat-out lying to be excused as a "Copilot hallucination" too.

      It’s worse. The guy in charge, and the folks working in the FOI response department repeatedly asserted that the force do not use AI, and did not use AI on this occasion.

      Not sure you can pass that off as a hallucination.

        Yeah well there's the whole UK post office/Toshiba scandal that cost suicides and jail sentences for wrongly accused postal employees but the cause was Toshiba's faulty software and the lies of the UK postal service.

    Copilot is the stupidest of them all. And I suspect the UK police used either free or cheap version, which is even more stupid.
