Also, the quality is nowhere near as good as Gemini&#8217;s. I&#8217;ve used Copilot frequently, but, unfortunately, it won&#8217;t even come up with an image of a fictional character. So then I asked Copilot to create an image of the last British president &#8211; the title of my last book, as it happens. However, it refused to do that, saying that the UK is a constitutional monarchy with a Prime Minister. No kidding! So I asked it to use its imagination and come up with a British president standing in front of Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/british-president.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-149791\" src=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/british-president.jpg\" alt=\"british-president\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/british-president.jpg 400w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/british-president-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/british-president-100x150.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nice try!
