Microsoft Copilot Against A Human

Microsoft's Copilot, another rather common AI Chatbot, unlike ChatGPT, Copilot seems to have much friendlier responses and seems almost "human-like" with how it interacts with you. When asking even a simple question, the bot would respond back with ways on how to revise the question if needed plus an answer to the initial question. Copilot is used as much as ChatGPT is and has about the same limits when it comes to generation.

Seeing how simple the generation for ChatGPT was, I didn't expect Copilot to give me any issues, but I was met with a surprise when typing in the same prompt I used for ChatGPT. Copilot refused to generate an image due to "copyright infringment." How is copyright even possible when it's on a character that doesn't exist outside of my sketchbook? This could only mean one thing, Copilot was pulling from the exact same media as was ChatGPT. Using the word "cartoon" caused the Chatbot to pull from existing media again. I knew Copilot could generate the image if it wasn't pulling from this media, so I told Copilot to "make the roadrunner brown, not blue" and this fixed the generation issue. Since I told Copilot to change the color, it could still pull from the same media if it was that stuck on the algorithm, but because small detail changes on an existing character under copyright could be considered a "parody", Copilot had no issue generating. After the image was generated, Copilot asked if there was anything I wanted to add, like a background or even giving the image a story.

Prompt- "Generate an image of a cartoon roadrunner with goggles on its head and wearing a medal shaped like an arrow"

My Image

Time Approximation- 1 hour and 30 minutes

Agil-Kilometer

Copilot's Image

Time Approximation- 10 Minutes

Copilot-Agil

Compared to ChatGPT's and even my image, Copilot has the upper hand by giving the image a background. The background was grabbed from different media compared to what it was initially going for. Copilot was no longer grabbing from popular media, but rather reality. Roadrunners are native to dry, arid areas like the desert. So while I never specified in the prompt to give a background of a desert, Copilot decided to make the image closer to reality by putting Agil in a desert setting. If anyone is actually curious for more about Agil, no he doesn't live in a desert. He lives more in a valley esque area.

Conclusion

Initially, Copilot wouldn't generate the image due to copyright issues, which is ironic since other chatbots have been caught taking work of actual artists and using it for their generations. Copilot seems more secure and friendly in comparison to other chatbots. I will admit though, the image Copilot generated is the best one as it's the closest to actually looking like Agil.
