Can Copilot do fact-checking? How do you do it?
Answer
Yes, Microsoft Copilot can perform fact-checking. According to a [Computerworld article], Copilot can look up information for you, but it is often "confidently wrong" and will argue with you when it is wrong. Therefore, it is important to fact-check the information provided by Copilot. The same article also mentions that Copilot can perform complex multi-step web searches, answering a question that requires several searches and logic along the way. Additionally, according to a [Microsoft blog post]([object Object]), Copilot makes it clear how the system makes decisions by noting limitations, linking to sources, and prompting users to review, fact-check and adjust content based on subject-matter expertise.
