It didn't understand you but the response was plausible enough to require fact checking.
Although that isn't literally indistinguishable from 'understanding' (because your fact checking easily discerned that) it suggests that at a surface level it did appear to understand your question and knew what a plausible answer might look like. This is not necessarily useful but it's quite impressive.
There are times it just generates complete nonsense that has nothing to do with what I said, but it's certainly not most of the time. I do not know how often, but I'd say it's definitely under 10% and almost certainly under 5% that the above happens.
Sure, LLMs are incredibly impressive from a technical standpoint. But they're so fucking stupid I hate using them.

I think we mostly agree on this. Cheers.
