Yeah not a bad assessment of what it spat out. However, what is annoying is it makes me feel like I am using the tool wrong. Even though I know it is just stringing words together based on probability.

It is like it is decently good at summary. But *really* bad at detail sometimes and makes things up. One thread I was doing with movies it got very confused and kept spitting out bad details even though I corrected it. What is also annoying is if if you didn't know better you might accept what it is saying as correct.

I was trying to specifically trying to see if it would summarize the functions, macros and rom descs in that file without feeding it the real file. I might fiddle again with it later and see if I can give it context and it makes better sense of it.

This thing is going to be bonkers on the internet when they add it to bing. Not sure what to make of that yet.
