A Broken Copilot Query

,

I was testing the new SSMS (v22 Preview 3) with Copilot and ran into an interesting issue.

This is part of a series of experiments with AI systems.

My Query

I was working on something unrelated and tried this prompt, which should have saved me a few minutes from looking on MSLearn.

As you can see, I get a nice list of things. However, then this happened.

 

This kept going. I gave it a minute, then opened my screen recorder (which is close to a minute) and started recording.

After capturing this, I stopped the query. Things seem to work OK, but this is definitely something that concerns me about agents and letting them go. I don’t know if this was a stuck process, if this was consuming compute or tokens, but it was certainly an issue.
