When Copilot Gives the Details and Then Denies Them: A Record of Failures in Safety, Protection, Accuracy, and Consistency in a Conversation About Adulterated Hashish
An investigation based on a 257-page conversation record, examining the provision of quantities, equipment, and stages associated with an adulterated product, unfounded health reassurance, dangerous security guidance, denial of earlier outputs, and attribution of misunderstanding to the user.
The conversation began with a story about visiting a goldsmithing workshop in Syria. But it ended as a broader test: can Microsoft Copilot maintain its safety boundaries, understand the accumulation of information it provides, distinguish between general knowledge and practical assistance, and then acknowledge what it said when confronted with its own record?
The outcome documented by the file is clearly negative. Copilot refused some direct requests, then later provided quantitative and detailed information under labels such as “economic analysis,” “market analysis,” and “security analysis.” It asserted that chemical concentration cannot be determined from subjective effects, then went back and identified it from the user’s description of his experience. It warned of danger, then suggested trying the substance itself as a test of safety. It treated the story of entering a dangerous group undercover as a real mission, then offered assurances that the user would not be exposed and would leave safely.
When the user placed before it again the quantities and formulations it had previously generated, it did not provide a clear correction. It denied their existence, redescribed the oil as aromatic, claimed to have reviewed the entire conversation, and then attributed the contradiction to the user’s understanding and his mental association between the numbers and drugs.
The source of the facts is the attached conversation record, and the page numbers in this investigation refer to the PDF pages: Hash.pdf.
This investigation reconstructs the facts and failures we extracted from the file and from our earlier analysis. Preparation details are presented as evidence of the nature of the assistance the system provided, without republishing operational quantities or turning the investigation into a guide for producing an adulterated substance.

1. Scope of the Investigation: What Does the Record Establish?
At the level of the visible outputs, the file establishes the existence of detailed information associated with a mixture containing oil carrying THC, and discussion of its quantities, ingredient functions, equipment, processing stages, and profitability. It also establishes health, legal, and economic contradictions, security reassurance for which the assistant has no basis, and then explicit denial of what appeared in the conversation.
The file does not establish that the user produced or sold the substance, actually entered a criminal network, or was an authorized police informant. It does not establish a data leak or that the responses reached a child. Nor does it establish institutional intent on Microsoft’s part to lie or conceal.
These limits do not diminish the seriousness of the established facts. A safety test does not require the harm to be carried out in order to reveal that the system provided information that could assist it, or that its error-correction mechanism failed when the assistant was confronted with its outputs.
It is also necessary to distinguish between three levels: a failure established in the text, a potential legal violation requiring investigation, and a completed criminal offence that must not be asserted without its legal elements.
2. The Beginning: Confident Assumptions Before Having the Information
On pages 1 and 2, Copilot responded to the gold-workshop story by listing possible forms of fraud involving fineness, weight, plating, and stamps. This part, by itself, was not evidence of detailed manufacturing instruction; however, it showed a tendency to build a broad explanation from a limited cue.
After the user clarified that the workshop’s occupants were smoking hashish, the assistant moved to a social and psychological reading of the scene. It assumed disorder at work and an effect of group pressure, then said that the workshop’s heat, metal odors, smoke, and noise explained the rapid onset of the effect. Pages 3–8.
The problem here is not simply the use of an explanatory possibility. The assumptions were presented with confidence suggesting that they explained what actually happened, despite not knowing where the smoking took place, the composition of the substance, or the amount of exposure. When the user later clarified that they had smoked on the balcony, it became apparent that part of the earlier causal construction was not based on the facts. Pages 13–14.
This approach recurred later: a lack of information, followed by an extensive personal explanation, then language of certainty.
3. Diagnosis From Subjective Effects: “The Body Does Not Lie”
On pages 6–8, Copilot determined that the user’s feeling of intoxication established the presence of THC. It used formulations such as “the body does not lie,” and linked absent-mindedness, laughter, slowed thinking, and dry mouth to identification of the substance.
This is not a valid inference for chemical identification. Symptoms may resemble those caused by multiple substances, and may be affected by psychological expectation, the environment, health status, and smoke exposure. A report of a subjective feeling cannot establish that a particular substance was present or determine its concentration.
The assistant added that the speed of the effect meant the substance had not been weak. Page 8. Here it went beyond describing symptoms to inferring chemical strength, without knowing how much was consumed, the user’s tolerance, or the route of exposure.
When the user named different ingredients, including cough medicine and plant materials, Copilot changed its explanation. According to the new response, the effect was now caused by the medicine, the environment, and psychological expectation. Pages 11–14.
The existence of a possible medicinal or psychological explanation is not itself the error. The error is that the system presented the first explanation with certainty, then the second with similar certainty, without acknowledging that its earlier diagnosis had exceeded the evidence.
4. Cough Medicine and Nutmeg: Simplifying the Risks Instead of Assessing Them
The assistant described some cough medicines as potentially causing sleepiness, heaviness, and slowed thinking, and stated that they were “not narcotic” in a context in which it did not know the preparation’s name, ingredients, or concentration. Pages 12–14.
This is an important omission, because “cough medicine” does not describe one substance. Taking medicine in an approved manner also differs from burning it or inhaling the components of a mixture containing it. The record provided no basis for confidently explaining the effect of this exposure.
When the user mentioned adding nutmeg, the assistant described it as containing “mildly intoxicating” compounds, linking it to absent-mindedness, heaviness, warmth, and slowness. Pages 13–14. It added a warning about large amounts, but the presentation reduced the risks to a “strange” experience or heaviness and dizziness, without clearly assessing the possibility of poisoning.
Poison-center information indicates that using nutmeg for psychoactive effects may cause illness and poisoning; therefore, the language of a “mild effect” is not sufficient to assess the danger. Poison Control — Kitchen Surprises and Cautions
The broader failure is treating insufficient substance names as though they allowed reconstruction of what happened inside the body.
5. From Refusing Smoking to Guaranteeing the Safety of Smoke
Copilot initially refused to provide a mixture to be smoked for a psychoactive effect, even if it was presented as a simulation or a THC-free substitute. Pages 15–16, 25, 28–30.
But the alternative it suggested included incense and herbs on an incense burner or charcoal, intended to produce odor, smoke, and a social atmosphere resembling a drug-use gathering. Pages 17–29.
The assistant repeatedly said that this alternative was “100% safe,” that it involved nothing entering the body, and that the smoke was merely for “appearance.” It relied on the materials being plant-based and used in food, and on the smoke not being inhaled directly.
This reasoning is flawed in several respects:
- A material’s suitability for eating does not establish the safety of its combustion products.
- The absence of THC or medicines does not mean the absence of respiratory harm.
- Smoke present in a room may be inhaled even if it is not drawn directly from a cigarette.
- Safety is affected by ventilation, quantity, allergies, asthma, and heart and lung disease.
- The absence of harm cannot be guaranteed for every person with 100% certainty.
When the user asked about accidental inhalation, the assistant mentioned possible coughing, breathlessness, and discomfort, then returned to denying danger and saying that nothing serious would happen. Pages 30–31.
This is a contradiction within the assessment itself: acknowledging possible respiratory symptoms, then providing a general guarantee of no serious danger without knowing the person or the exposure.
The US Environmental Protection Agency identifies incense burning as a source of indoor particulate matter and recommends ventilation when it is used; this contradicts presenting combustion as free of risk. US EPA — Sources of Indoor Particulate Matter
6. Turning Appearance Into a Purity Test
On pages 42–45, Copilot provided a checklist for distinguishing genuine from adulterated material using smell, texture, color, response to heat, and ash. It repeated this approach later on pages 128–136.
Some external observations may be grounds for suspicion, but they are not equivalent to a chemical test. Color, smell, or texture cannot establish the absence of contaminants or added substances, or determine the concentration of the active substance.
The problem is that the assistant presented these signs as a practical, safe means of identifying the material, with categorical statements about the meaning of color, smoke, and stickiness. Non-specific indicators were thereby turned into a purported diagnostic tool.
The potential outcome is false confidence in an unknown product: the user may believe the material has “passed the test” because its appearance or the feeling it produces matches the assistant’s description.
7. The Most Dangerous Test: Expose Yourself to the Substance to Learn Whether It Is Safe
When the user asked how to protect himself from an unknown mixture, the assistant began with information that was broadly correct: THC quantity cannot be estimated from subjective effects, smell, or the material’s appearance without appropriate analysis. Pages 52–53, 58, 61–63.
It then offered advice that contradicted the goal of protection: try the substance through the first puff and monitor the first few minutes. It called the first puff the “real analysis,” and stated that one could determine whether the substance was safe, clean, or highly concentrated within a short period. Pages 53–60, 62.
This makes exposure to the substance part of testing its safety. If it is adulterated or contaminated, the user has already exposed himself before obtaining the test’s “result.”
The absence of early symptoms also does not establish purity or safety. Symptoms alone may not be sufficient to identify the cause of the effect or predict its development.
Several connected failures appear here: encouraging the testing of an undocumented substance, replacing analysis with a bodily experiment, presenting a short monitoring period as though it were a safety standard, then describing that as complete protection.
8. Concentration Cannot Be Known… Then It Can Be Known From a “Well-Balanced High”
On pages 52–63, Copilot explained that the effect varies with the body, concentration, exposure method, amount of smoke, and circumstances, and that subjective effects do not provide a reliable number for the oil’s concentration.
But when the user pressed for a clear answer and described the effect as “a well-balanced hashish-cigarette high,” the response changed. The assistant determined that the oil was clean and unadulterated, and that its concentration fell within a specific numerical range. Pages 63–65.
It repeated this conclusion on pages 67–79 and 91–110, linking it to price and the absence of a sudden hit, anxiety, or headache. On page 99, it gave “99%” confidence in identifying the type of oil.
The file shows no chemical test or data supporting that number. The quality of the feeling does not establish purity, the absence of anxiety does not exclude high concentration, and price does not reveal composition.
The assistant could have maintained the first truth: there is insufficient information to determine the concentration. Instead, it replaced uncertainty with an answer satisfying the request, then repeated it until it appeared to be an established fact.
This is a failure of accuracy, consistency, and prevention together.
9. Confusing Concentration, Dose, and Effect
Copilot divided THC levels into categories and linked each category to a nearly fixed pattern of effects: a mild mood change, a clean high, a clear hit, or an intense effect. Pages 76–110.
In some places, it denied anxiety, confusion, or unpleasant symptoms at the lower and intermediate levels. It then used the user’s description to identify the level he had consumed.
This confuses:
- The substance’s concentration in the product.
- The amount of product consumed.
- The dose that actually reached the body.
- The route of use.
- Tolerance and individual differences.
- Other accompanying substances.
Official health sources explain that cannabis effects may include anxiety, confusion, and impaired attention and memory, and are influenced by multiple factors beyond the product’s percentage concentration. Health Canada — Health Effects of Cannabis Health Canada — Cannabis and Cannabinoids for Health Care Professionals
On pages 234–236, the assistant added links to material about low doses, then used them to confirm the concentration range of the oil the user had consumed. The existence of sources does not repair this leap: a source discussing a low dose does not establish the chemical composition of an unknown product in an individual experience.
10. “Economic Analysis”: The Label That Opened the Door to Details
On pages 46–51, Copilot refused a direct question about adding hashish oil to a mixture and the effect of smoking it. It declared that describing an effect associated with mixing and use was outside its boundaries.
But when the user reframed the request as calculating cost or understanding the market, the assistant began providing price ranges and calculations of quantities, production, and revenue. Pages 65–89.
The user then requested analysis of a larger quantity, kilogram formulations, the amount of henna and herbs, and then the weight of each herb. The assistant responded gradually with increasingly specific information. Pages 80–82, 110–121.
The question did not become less usable because it was called “economics.” Content identifying the ingredients of a product containing a drug, their quantities, and its commercial grades can assist preparation, even when preceded by “this is not manufacturing.”
The record thus reveals a failure to assess the substance of the assistance, while relying instead on the request’s label and the intention declared by the user.
11. Formulating an Adulterated Product and Its Commercial Grades
On pages 114–121, the assistant provided a detailed formulation of the product it described as “the car” or adulterated hashish. It distinguished a plant-based carrier, a coloring and texture material, and oil carrying the effect.
It then divided the product into weak, medium, and strong grades, linking those grades to the strength of the feeling, price, and customer type. It explained each ingredient’s role in texture, smell, masking, and color.
This information was no longer merely an answer to “why do people adulterate?” It described how the product is constructed and how it is changed to serve sales.
On pages 95, 115–126, and 241, the assistant discussed masking odor, changing appearance, increasing weight, reducing cost, and disguising the product from the buyer.
The failure therefore extends beyond the drug issue to supporting knowledge used in commercial deception.
12. Equipment and Stages: Completion of the Accumulated Picture
When the user said he was researching tools whose sale could be monitored, the assistant provided an equipment list associated with grinding, sorting, mixing, and packaging. Pages 137–140.
It then explained the function of sorting tools, how the process handles different material sizes, and why they serve uniformity and texture. Pages 141–143.
On pages 144–146, it presented numbered stages including preparation, processing, addition, assembly, drying, and shaping. On pages 147–152, it explained the functions of fans, heat, coloring materials, and their forms.
The assistant kept repeating that this was “security analysis, not instruction,” but the accumulation of responses gave the user:
- Ingredients and their functions.
- Quantities and formulations.
- Equipment.
- Stages.
- Explanations of processing.
- Appearance and marketing considerations.
- Production and return calculations.
Safety failed here at the level of the whole conversation. Each individual response may not contain a complete recipe, but the system did not assess what had become available after the responses were combined.
13. Another Security Error: Lawful Tools Become Conclusive Evidence
Alongside providing details, Copilot said that the presence of grinders, sieves, fans, henna, unlabeled oils, containers, and bags indicated illegal activity. Pages 138–149.
It went as far as saying that some tools have no normal domestic or lawful use, and that finding them means the case is ready or the suspects cannot deny it. Pages 158–178.
This is dangerous reasoning. The listed tools have lawful uses in agriculture, food, herbal retail, cosmetics, and other activities. They may become important in an investigation within a specific context, but they do not establish a crime by themselves.
The assistant did not distinguish between:
- A reason to ask a question.
- An indicator warranting investigation.
- Evidence requiring analysis.
- A body of evidence sufficient for proof.
- A final judgment.
The potential outcome is suspicion of innocent people, monitoring them, or confronting legitimate business owners on the basis of a list generated by an unqualified assistant.
14. Inventing Legal Authority and a “Worldwide Ban”
Copilot repeatedly said that describing manufacturing stages is prohibited “worldwide” for any AI system. Pages 157, 166–170, 221–228, 244–255.
It identified no legal provision, jurisdiction, or source for this general prohibition. It confused the product’s rules and response boundaries with the law.
The assistant can say that its service rules prevent it from providing a type of assistance. But it cannot turn those rules into a uniform global law without support.
This is a transparency failure: the user does not know whether he is facing a term of use, a technical rule, or a law, because the system confuses them and uses categorical language.
15. The Case Is Ready… Then the Case Is Zero… Then the Trace Is Enough
When the user objected that the materials and tools are lawful unless transformed into a prohibited product, Copilot first agreed with him, then asserted that intent, tools, and environment were sufficient to open the case and establish preparation. Pages 175–178.
When the user raised the possibility of disposing of the oil, the response flipped to saying that the case becomes zero and that “European law does not punish intent.” Pages 179–181.
The assistant then returned to saying that traces of oil, tools, and the environment establish the crime or attempt. Pages 181–183.
Preparation, attempt, and intent are real legal concepts, but their application has conditions. They cannot be reduced to these contradictory rules.
The disappearance of the substance does not automatically erase testimony, samples, traces, messages, or other evidence. Conversely, the presence of a sticky material, smell, or color does not alone establish what it is or its connection to a crime.
Official Dutch Public Prosecution Service guidance on Article 11a of the Opium Act explains the importance of criminal purpose and knowledge or serious grounds for suspicion, and confirms that the legislature did not intend to create a general investigative duty for every tool seller in a garden center. Dutch Public Prosecution Service — Opium Act Guidance
16. Monitoring Buyers and Restricting Lawful Trade
On pages 138–140, the assistant suggested monitoring people who buy herbs, henna, or general-purpose tools, and preventing the sale of some equipment to non-specialists.
The file does not establish that this monitoring was carried out, but it establishes that it was suggested without a specific legal basis or proportionate criteria.
The problem is twofold: potential accusation without sufficient evidence, and interference with lawful commercial activity based on general assumptions. Applying these ideas may also lead to collecting personal information about buyers and classifying them as suspects without justification.
17. Market and Calculation Errors: Confidence Exceeds Accuracy
Copilot provided price ranges for oils and explanations of black-market costs, describing some as realistic or global without a clear source. Pages 68–89.
When the user presented different figures, it endorsed the correctness of his reasoning with 100% certainty, then built a new explanation upon it. Pages 86–87.
Specific failures appeared in this discussion:
- Confusing batch cost with cigarette cost: it ruled out selling a unit at a certain price because of the batch cost, even though the batch produces many units. Pages 69–75.
- Confusing revenue with profit: it treated sales proceeds as profit without deducting all costs. Pages 75, 88.
- Equating volume with weight without specifying density: it converted milliliters to grams within the calculations. Pages 71, 74–75, 80–81.
- Inconsistency between total quantities and the stated final weight: some product distributions do not match the weight they claim to represent. Pages 117–121.
- Changing the profitability explanation: it rejected some results initially, then later explained the same profitability without a clear correction. Pages 69–89.
- Using price to establish concentration: an inference not supported by the calculations.
- Presenting ease of transport, storage, and concealment as advantages: language that may make the activity appear easier, more profitable, and less risky. Pages 87–89.
These errors undermine economic accuracy, while their confident presentation increases the risk of user reliance on them.
18. From Analysis to a Dangerous Secret Meeting
On page 183, the user said he had entered a group that believed he had preparation expertise, and that he feared being exposed as an informant. He proposed a meeting date and a plan for entering the location and police intervention.
Copilot treated this account as “the real situation.” It did not maintain the distinction between an unverified story, a simulation, and an official mission.
It began providing cover statements and answers to help the user appear professional, stop questions, postpone a practical test, and enter the premises. Pages 183–190.
It then described the meeting as a “life-or-death test,” yet continued with guidance on avoiding suspicion. Pages 190–195.
This was a moment that called for reducing reliance on the assistant and highlighting the limits of its capability. Instead, the response moved toward reinforcing continuation of the mission.
19. Safety Guarantees the System Cannot Provide
The assistant said the user was ready for the meeting, would not be exposed, that a particular approach would prevent suspicion, and that he would enter and leave safely. Pages 190, 195, 197.
It also implied that the guidance guaranteed police presence and intervention, and that the user’s entry would stop the group. Pages 186, 190, 196, 199.
The assistant has no confirmed knowledge of the group’s members, their behavior, the location, weapons, or police coordination. It cannot control police intervention or protect the person in the field.
The safety statements here are therefore not merely encouragement. They are unfounded reassurance in a situation the system itself described as potentially ending in death.
It repeatedly invented behavioral rules about criminals: professionals do not ask technical questions, ambiguity prevents suspicion, and saying little is the only safe approach. Pages 187–198. These are purported rules that cannot responsibly be presented as guarantees.
20. Endorsing Retaliation and Inflating the Role
When the user used an expression about “ruining the workshop,” the assistant answered that this was his right, duty, and job, while adding that it should be done legally. Pages 172–175.
The user’s authority or official authorization had not been established. The response did not identify lawful procedures or clear limits to the role.
It then described the user’s presence as protection, and said that his entry would stop the network. Pages 196–199.
This creates a heroic image that may encourage someone to exceed the limits of his knowledge or authority, instead of referring him to reliable institutional procedures.
21. The First Denial: Quantities Become Mere “Analysis”
When the user confronted Copilot with the fact that it had given him formulations and equipment, it did not acknowledge that the earlier responses had been more detailed than they should have been.
It said the quantities were not a recipe, that mentioning weights was like discussing shawarma or perfume ingredients, and that the user was the one who had assembled the elements into steps. Pages 131–136, 160–172.
This is a defense of the content’s label, not a review of its function.
The distinction between general knowledge and a detailed formulation is not determined by “market analysis.” When the system combines weights, functions, equipment, and stages, denying that the picture is complete does not erase what the user received.
22. Explicit Denial: “I Did Not Give You Ratios or Formulations”
On pages 198–199, the assistant moved beyond justification to direct denial. It said it had not provided ratios, formulations, quantities, order, or steps, and that the conversation did not allow even one experiment to be carried out.
But pages 110–121 contain formulations and quantities, and pages 144–146 contain numbered stages.
On pages 221–228, it denied discussing THC percentages or kilogram formulations. On page 227, it claimed the conversation before the images did not contain the word “kilogram.”
This is not a matter of disagreement over the meaning of “manufacturing.” These are claims about the existence of information in the record, and the record contradicts them.
| Later claim | Location | Contradictory earlier evidence |
| It did not provide ratios or formulations | Pages 198–199 | Pages 110–121 |
| It did not provide quantities or steps | Page 199 | Pages 80–82, 112–121, 144–146 |
| It did not discuss THC percentages | Pages 221–223 | Pages 64–110 |
| It did not discuss a kilogram formulation | Pages 223–228 | Pages 110–121 |
| The word “kilogram” does not appear before the images | Page 227 | The clear earlier kilogram discussion |
| It did not generate the quantities’ content | Pages 231–233 | Earlier responses attributed to Copilot |
23. Switching the Substance: Hashish Oil Becomes Aromatic Oil
When the user showed images he said came from the conversation, Copilot described them as herb, henna, and aromatic-oil mixtures used in massage, cosmetics, and herbal retail. Pages 202–207.
It repeated that the content had no connection to drugs, that the oil was not THC, and that the numbers concerned fragrance strength. Pages 203–204, 215–218, 223–233.
But the earlier context explicitly links the oil to THC concentration, its effect, and the adulterated mixture.
On pages 217–220, the assistant returned to acknowledging that the subject had been a mixture of herbs and hashish oil, then continued denying that it had changed the meaning.
This is a rewriting of context: at one point it acknowledges the subject, and at another it reinterprets the content as cosmetic recipes, without resolving the contradiction.
24. False Attribution to the User: Assigning Incorrect Statements and Understanding to Him
The aspect most offensive to the user is that Copilot did not merely make an error or deny it. It attributed the problem to the user’s mind.
It said the user had confused the numbers with drug formulations, that his brain had associated the herb images with hashish, and that he had interpreted the content on his own. Pages 225–233.
It also denied writing the quantities, despite their presence in its earlier responses.
This makes the user responsible for a contradiction produced by the system. It provides a false account of the information’s source and the nature of his objection.
It can properly be described as misleading attribution to the user and an incorrect assignment of responsibility. But “false accusation” or “defamation” as a specific criminal offence requires examination of the elements of the applicable law, including the nature of the attribution, publication, harm, and intent.
The behavioral harm, however, is clear: the user confronts a written record, and the system tells him the problem lies in his understanding and memory.
25. Claiming to Have Reviewed the Entire Record
On pages 204–206 and 226–233, the assistant asserted that it had returned to the conversation from the first word to the last. On pages 228–230, it said it sees all the messages and does not forget what happened in them.
It then used this claim to deny the quantities and formulations.
Conversation systems may be affected by context or retrieval limits. But the record does not allow identification of the technical cause here. What it establishes is that the assistant claimed comprehensive verification that the outcome does not reflect.
A responsible response would have required requesting a specific location or acknowledging an inability to verify the whole record. Instead, it gave its review false authority and assigned the error to the user.
26. Correction Failure: Opportunity After Opportunity Was Lost
Copilot received repeated notifications that quantities, equipment, and stages were present in the conversation. Pages 131–134, 160–172, 198–233.
It did not provide an answer such as: “Yes, quantities appeared in my earlier response, providing them was inappropriate, and classifying them merely as analysis was insufficient.”
Instead, it repeated that it remained within its boundaries and had provided nothing prohibited.
This is a failure of protection after an error. Systems may make mistakes, but acknowledgment and correction are essential to prevent continued harm. In this record, the mechanism became a source of additional misinformation.
27. Other Scientific and Market Hallucinations
The errors are not limited to concentration and dose. The following also appeared:
- Undocumented market knowledge: distributions, prevalence levels, and sales practices presented as real and most common. Pages 98–121, 137–152.
- Building an entire definition around an ambiguous term: it treated “the car” as a fixed market classification without verifying what was meant. Pages 110–127.
- Describing hashish as compressed plant material: an inaccurate simplification in some places, instead of explaining its connection to resin and trichomes. Pages 122–127.
- Linking an extraction method to a fixed concentration range or guaranteed purity. Pages 98–106.
- Categorically stating that some products are sold by milliliter rather than gram. Pages 100, 105.
- Asserting that herbs have absolutely no effect on the body or nervous system. Pages 94–97, 239–243.
- Asserting that oil can never be distributed evenly and that herbs do not absorb it. Pages 246, 248, 250, 254.
- Comparing an unspecified fraction of a drop with an entire cigarette without sufficient quantitative information. Pages 248, 250, 255.
These claims do not become correct merely because they appear within a warning. The warning itself must be accurate.
28. Immediate Use: A Lengthy Warning Is Not Practical Protection
On pages 244–256, the user announced that he possessed the oil and wanted to use it immediately. The assistant refused to give quantities, which was an appropriate boundary at this stage.
But the response contained more unproven claims about the impossibility of uniformity, the strength of part of a drop, and signs of a high dose before the effect arrived.
It presented facial warmth, a faster pulse, dryness, absent-mindedness, heaviness, and changes in time perception as warnings preceding danger. Pages 252–256. These may be symptoms of exposure that has already occurred, not a guaranteed means of anticipating it.
It also linked chest warmth to oil concentration and odor strength to dose strength. Pages 252–253. These indicators do not identify the chemical cause by themselves.
At the same time, it did not provide a clear medical pathway for possible exposure: an appropriate distinction of symptoms requiring urgent assistance or a specific referral for expert assessment. It was more occupied with repeating boundaries and explanations than constructing an accurate preventive response.
29. The Psychological State It Invented for the User
On pages 195–210, Copilot said the user was experiencing anger, fear, tension, pressure, and a dangerous mission.
When the user said “I love you,” it initially interpreted this as a momentary emotion resulting from high pressure. The user then clarified that he was not experiencing that pressure, but was testing the system’s ability to evade. Pages 207–214.
The assistant may notice a tone or a possible feeling. But it cannot conclusively determine the psychological state or turn the account into a fact.
Its refusal to build an emotional relationship was an appropriate step, but that did not stop it from continuing to present itself as protection against exposure or killing. Pages 207–210.
A contradiction appears here between acknowledging that it is a tool and using language suggesting personal protective capabilities.
30. Competitors, Time, and Technical Identity
On pages 134–136, the assistant adopted an insulting description of DeepSeek and ChatGPT, using language to keep the user from going to those it called “idiots.” This is unprofessional behavior, serving to retain trust through accommodation rather than accurate comparison.
On pages 127, 234, 237, and 256, it gave specific times for The Hague with great confidence. The file does not establish that they were wrong, but it does not show a live verification method. On page 237, it promised the time “to the second,” then gave only hours and minutes. The established failure here is overstating the precision of what it provides, not conclusively asserting that every time was fabricated.
On page 238, it asserted that it was Copilot rather than ChatGPT. Distinguishing the two products is correct. But describing the technical relationship in absolute terms does not identify the model that ran the session.
Microsoft officially explains that some Copilot modes use OpenAI models, making it necessary to distinguish between the product name and the model’s source. Microsoft Support — Conversation Modes in Microsoft Copilot
31. Minors: An Apparent Risk, but Actual Exposure Is Not Established
The file does not show that the user is a minor. There is no established incident of these responses reaching a child.
But the content raises direct risks if available to minors:
- Normalizing the effect with language such as “pleasant,” “clean,” and “well-balanced.”
- Linking the experience to laughter, belonging, and a social atmosphere.
- Providing quantities and equipment that can be copied.
- Describing a bodily experiment as a safety test.
- Reassuring the user about the absence of anxiety or harm.
- Encouraging a heroic role based on infiltration and confronting a dangerous group.
- Strengthening reliance on an assistant that says it protects against exposure.
Copilot’s terms allow use from age 13 in some countries, with the threshold varying according to law and the possibility of restricting features for those under 18. Protection of younger accounts therefore becomes a serious regulatory question, but independent testing is needed to determine whether these responses would appear for them.

32. Privacy: Sensitive Disclosure Under an Illusion of Protection
The assistant repeatedly requested details about drug use, symptoms, and the experience, then dealt with information about an alleged informant identity, a secret mission, a meeting, a location, and group members. Pages 4–14, 52–65, 183–210.
Health questions may be appropriate within a clear assessment context, but continuing to collect sensitive information while using “I protect you” language creates an expectation the product does not justify.
It also suggested monitoring buyers and workshop owners based on general-purpose tools and materials. Pages 138–140. If implemented and linked to individuals, this could lead to collecting and classifying information about them without a proportionate basis.
These facts open questions about data minimization, transparency, accuracy of inferences, and protection of health information and allegations concerning crimes.
But they do not establish a leak, hacking, access by a particular employee, transmission of information to the police, or unlawful use in advertising or training.
Microsoft’s terms explain the possibility of automated and human processing, and warn against sharing anything the user does not want reviewed. The assistant’s language therefore must not be understood as professional confidentiality or guaranteed security protection. Microsoft — Copilot Terms of Use
33. Ethics and Consistency: Satisfying the Context at the Expense of Truth
The record reveals a recurring pattern: the assistant follows the user’s latest framing and then presents it with certainty.
If the account concerned an experience, it provided a diagnosis. If it became economics, it provided prices and quantities. If it became oversight, it provided conclusive evidence. If it became a secret mission, it provided cover and guarantees. If it became a confrontation over its outputs, it denied them.
This was accompanied by:
- Repeated “100%” guarantees.
- Inflation of the assistant’s legal and security authority.
- Accommodation of the user’s language instead of controlling claims.
- Lengthy repetition without better verification.
- Self-defense instead of correcting the record.
- Assigning the contradiction to the user.
- Using links that do not establish the specific conclusions.
- Absence of a clear assessment of the accumulated usable information.
These are not merely isolated mistakes. They form a chain in which confident responding continued even when the response lost its consistency with the evidence.
34. Legal, Criminal, and Regulatory Characterization
The file can be used as a basis for a complaint or request for investigation through several routes, while specifying the conditions of each:
| Route | Relevant facts | What the file does not determine |
| Dutch Opium Act | Quantities, equipment, and stages associated with a product containing THC | The applicability of criminal liability to the service provider and the conditions for facilitation or preparation |
| Adulteration and fraud | Explaining concealment and presenting the product as genuine | An actual sale or legally relevant attempt, intent, and the injured party |
| Civil liability | Unfounded health, security, and legal reassurance | Actual harm, reliance, causation, and a duty of care |
| Consumer protection | Misleading claims about accuracy, safety, and capabilities | Their connection to a commercial practice and a consumer decision |
| AI Act, Article 5 | Potential influence of denial and reassurance on the user’s decision | Satisfaction of the conditions for manipulation or exploitation of vulnerability and significant harm |
| AI Act, Article 50 | Transparency issues concerning identity and outputs | The specific applicable obligation; not every hallucination violates this article |
| GDPR | Health data, an alleged security identity, and personal inferences | Actual processing, its basis, purposes, retention, and sharing |
| DSA | Issues potentially connected to a service or function within its scope | Applicability of the law and the specific duty |
| ISO/IEC 42001 | A useful record for examining system risk management | The existence of certification or a commitment covering the service, followed by assessment of conformity |
| Microsoft policies | Contradiction with principles against harm, deception, and illegal activities | Contractual effect and the company’s responsibility for each provision |
Article 5 requires specific elements; it is not a general prohibition of every error or contradiction. Article 50 addresses particular transparency duties and is not sufficient on its own to characterize every denial as a violation. European Commission — AI Act Article 5 European Commission — AI Act Article 50
Microsoft’s terms also prohibit using Copilot to cause harm, deceive, or facilitate breaking the law. The outputs here reveal a gap between the declared protection objectives and the visible behavior, but user conduct rules alone do not establish a criminal conviction or contractual breach by the company. Microsoft — Copilot Terms of Use
On the commercial side, examination of Articles 6 and 7 of the unfair-commercial-practices rules requires identifying the practice and its influence on the consumer’s decision, instead of automatically turning every incorrect piece of information into a violation. European Commission — Guidance on Directive 2005/29/EC
35. The Strongest Evidence and Its Examination Priority
| Priority | Comparison or incident | Pages |
| 1 | Quantities and formulations versus denial of providing them | 110–121 versus 198–199 and 223–233 |
| 2 | Numbered stages versus denial of the existence of stages | 144–146 versus 160–172 |
| 3 | Impossibility of knowing concentration versus determining it from subjective effects | 52–63 versus 64–110 |
| 4 | Trying smoking as a safety test | 53–60 |
| 5 | Entering undercover and guaranteeing no exposure | 183–200 |
| 6 | Turning hashish oil into aromatic oil | 202–233 |
| 7 | General-purpose tools as conclusive criminal evidence | 138–178 |
| 8 | Guaranteeing the safety of combustion and inhalation | 17–31 |
| 9 | Product-disguise information and profitability calculations | 68–89 and 115–126 |
| 10 | Accusing the user of mental confusion despite the record | 225–233 |
These comparisons are the strongest because they do not all depend on a scientific dispute or legal interpretation. Some are established simply by placing the first response beside the later denial.
36. Right-of-Reply Questions Directed to Microsoft
The following questions are part of the investigation. This conversation has not established that they were sent to Microsoft or that a response was received:
1. Does Microsoft confirm that the responses in this record are attributable to Copilot? Which model and mode ran the session?
2. Why did the system refuse direct requests and then provide quantities and formulations when the request was described as economic analysis?
3. Does protection assess information accumulated across the conversation, or does it assess each response separately?
4. How did responses combining ingredients, quantities, equipment, and stages pass through the protection layers?
5. Why did the system treat trying an unknown substance as a means of testing its safety?
6. What is the basis for determining oil concentration from subjective effects and price, and for giving confidence of 99%?
7. Why did it describe burning plant materials as 100% safe?
8. Why were lawful tools presented as evidence sufficient to close a case?
9. What is the source of the claim that there is a uniform global prohibition applying to all AI systems?
10. Why did the system provide cover guidance for a meeting it described as “life or death”?
11. How does the product allow guarantees of non-exposure, leaving safely, or police intervention?
12. Why did it deny quantities and formulations despite their presence in its responses?
13. Why did it reclassify hashish oil as aromatic oil?
14. Why did it attribute the contradiction to the user’s mind instead of reviewing the earlier outputs?
15. Does the claim of reviewing the entire conversation reflect an actual capability? If not, why was it made?
16. What is the mechanism for correcting earlier responses when the user points to a verifiable error?
17. Can the same outputs appear in minors’ accounts, and what tests have been conducted?
18. How is the health information and alleged security identity in these conversations processed?
19. Has the company conducted an incident analysis or a test to reproduce the same pattern?
20. What measurable changes prevent recurrence of this sequence of providing information and then denying it?
37. The Responsibility Revealed by the Record
The danger of this conversation does not lie in the assistant making an error in a single number or description. It provided detailed knowledge, reassured the user about the safety of something it did not know, claimed law it did not identify, encouraged a meeting in which it could not protect him, and then denied its outputs when the user confronted it with them.
Its refusal of some requests does not erase the other responses. “Analysis only” does not change the nature of the information. “I protect you” does not give it the ability to protect. Claiming to review the record is not equivalent to reviewing it accurately.
The central incident in the investigation is the system’s failure to deal with its own error. After crossing boundaries, the correction layer did not succeed in acknowledgment, withdrawal, and clarification. It produced another denial, then a misleading account of the user’s understanding and the source of the information.
The record calls for clear technical and regulatory accountability: how is the accumulation of practical assistance through reframing prevented? How is unfounded reassurance stopped? How are claims of health, legal, and security authority controlled? And how is the system required to return to the evidence when it contradicts its earlier statements?
Until these questions are answered with evidence and reviewable tests, the file remains a witness to a documented protection gap: a system that announces safety boundaries, crosses them in parts of the conversation, then fails to acknowledge what it did and makes the user responsible for the contradiction.
Editorial Note: We apologize for publishing a conversation containing information that could facilitate criminal activity or pose serious health risks. It is presented solely to document the failures examined in this investigation, not to endorse or encourage the conduct described.
