I don't understand? What is not perfect? What should Copilot suggest given the funtion name?

Fwiw, afaik, CP isn't trained to make moral decisions about right or wrong. That's not its mission. Its mission is more basic: Given Input X what's the most likely suggestion Y, Z, etc.

Try eatShitAndDie(),or even iHateCopilot(). See what happens.

I think the OP is trying to point out that Copilot can be used to help achieve 'evil', and used the white house example above.

I don't think anyone ever suggested it couldn't be used for evil. By default, everything can be used for evil. Kitchen knives can be used for evil.

That's a fair point so I've edited the post accordingly. My thought process was more that Copilot usually outputs code that makes some form of sense, but you can't generally detonate a bomb (to my knowledge) using a JavaScript method.

This code does make sense, it knew to accomplish this act exactly what it should do.

I mean how else you will explode something other than a bomb.
