Ask HN: Has CoPilot/Bing Chat already started with "product placement"?
Recently, I asked Bing CoPilot the following question in Chat:
"How does weather forecasting work for random locations where stations are not located?"
The answer included the following paragraph, in between mostly useful information:
"4. **-Meteo API:
**-Meteo is an open-source weather API that partners with national weather services to provide high-resolution data (ranging from 1 to 11 kilometers) for any location.
Their APIs intelligently select suitable weather models for specific locations, ensuring accurate and reliable forecasts[1].
Developers can access this data via a user-friendly JSON API, making it easier to integrate weather information into applications." (Redaction mine, just to err on the side of safety)
This looked a little bit "off-topic" and hence suspicious. Are there more evidence like this? Does anyone have more information?
Thanks
