EU & Brexit Bunker

This isn't the AI thread, but if you ask a leading question, then that's the answer you will get e.g. Why was the UK the big winner from the FTAs?

Not a leading question.

And here's Copilot with the same question.

The ability of the UK to negotiate bespoke trade deals is a Brexit benefit, it has come at a cost of more friction when trading with the EU.

The UK economy is somewhat smaller than that of the EU hence we will be in a worse position negotiating trade deals eg we have a much smaller market to offer to open to those we seek deals with. Hence UK deals are unlikely to achieve those of the EU.

I thought I'd ask the corresponding question. Turns out AI just gives the answer you seek. AI fails.

I don't think this theory has been supported in practice e.g. all existing deals except Canada were just rolled over and many of those have since been improved.
