Copilot is ready to help users install pirated Windows 11?

Recently, some Windows 11 pirates found an unexpected 'ally': Microsoft Copilot.

While Copilot does not encourage software piracy in any way, the fact that users can ask the AI assistant to provide instructions for activating Windows via a script once again highlights the shortcomings of AI technology.

Copilot is an AI chatbot provided by Microsoft to users.

In fact, activating Windows 11 illegally is nothing new, and the script that Copilot provides is not a new invention and has been around for years. However, it is surprising that Microsoft has not put in place any safeguards to prevent Copilot from guiding users through this process.

The bug was first discovered and shared by Reddit user u/loozerr on the r/piracy forum. 'When testing, I was able to install pirated Windows 11 using the instructions in a question with Copilot. However, Windows 11 pirates should be cautious as the AI is well aware that the script it shares may be involved in illegal activity,' the user said.

After providing instructions, Copilot also warns that 'using unauthorized activation methods may violate Microsoft's terms of service.' This is completely accurate. Additionally, Windows Central reported that when asking Copilot about the risks associated with using scripts, it gave a list of issues such as legal risks, security, lack of support, updates, and ethical issues.

All of these points are important, especially in terms of security risks. Copying random code from an AI and running it on a personal computer is never a good idea, as users cannot know who has inserted malicious code into code that the AI has collected from the internet. In fact, GitHub, a major platform for sharing code, has recently become a haven for malicious code. Therefore, Windows 11 pirates should think carefully before trusting scripts that promise to provide free access to Windows, even if it comes from a tool run by Microsoft.
