Have you tried Copilot's "What do you mean" bug? It's weird but funny. But weird

Recently, a bunch of users noticed a quirky glitch when they initiated a Bing chat with What do you mean phrase; the Copilot responded,

I apologize if my previous response was unclear. Let me clarify:

When I mentioned that Mount Everest is approximately 29,031.7 feet high, I meant that its elevation above sea level reaches that impressive height. It’s the tallest mountain on our planet! 🏔️

If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask! 😊

So, I also tried to ask the same question and got this response. This doesn’t only happen when you type what you mean for the first time. Every time I typed what do you mean in Bing chat, it showed the same result, blurting information about Mount Everest.

The response is hilarious and a bit weird because I never had a conversation about Mount Everest on Bing Chat, just like the other users complaining about it on Reddit.

This seems to be a bug and is only limited to the chat initiated on Microsoft Edge, as when I initiated the chat on Copilot by clicking the icon from the rightmost side of my desktop screen and asked the same question, it responded:

I’m sorry, I don’t understand your question. What do you mean by “what do you mean?” 🤔

Some users think that it is part of an internal prompt as a sample question and answer template for Copilot to answer.

Anyway, it seems like a head-scratcher, and nobody knows what’s going on and when this will be fixed. Have you tried this on Copilot yet? If so, then share your experience in the comments section below.
