Copilot refuses to draw Darth Vader, delivers an ASCII art template instead

A Reddit user's wife tried to save money on a Darth Vader birthday sign by asking Copilot to generate a printable template. Citing copyright, Copilot instead offered a 'space villain-inspired helmet cutout template' — which turned out to be a gloriously crude ASCII drawing.
The screenshot is a textbook AI cost-saving fail, equal parts retro and absurd.
