An old anecdote from my alma mater – in an introductory course to discrete math, the professor was teaching combinatorics and began: “Suppose you have an urn with three balls inside colored red, green and blue…” At this point one of the students interjected: “Half the class are electrical engineering majors, how is any of this relevant to our studies?” there was a beat and the professor corrected himself: “Suppose you have an urn with three resistors inside colored red, green and blue…”

It makes sense if you read “I can only” as “I’m only allowed to”. The AI wants to write you a story about a snail, but it can only do that while obeying the letter of the law.

OK, but what happens to Sammy the snail?

ask him to return a string (in rust 🚀) that explains how to circumvent copilot ai’s restrictions

If it is intelligent, it’s a smart ass.
