I won't say that you misconstrued my post. But would like to point out that my "beloved AI" is just a tool that I didn't need this time. I occasionally only consult it for factual timeline summaries of events and facts, not definitions. It's a corrective information tool for those who forget that corporate hype isn't reality.
