Caught a Microsoft engineer at a conference in Austin last month...

I was at this AI conference in Austin last month, grabbing coffee between sessions, and this Microsoft engineer starts ranting to me about their new Copilot update. He said their team spent $2 million training it to stop hallucinating, and it still told someone that Austin was the capital of Texas. I asked if he was serious, and he just shrugged and said "we're basically just making really expensive random number generators." Has anyone else talked to an actual dev at one of these things and gotten the real unscripted take?
