    When it works it’s impressive, but sometimes it just makes things up:

    For one of my repos: https://github.com/drpriver/macwatch

    > Does this program work on windows?

    No, macwatch is a program designed specifically for Mac computers and is not compatible with Windows systems. The program is designed to provide users with a comprehensive overview of their Mac's performance, including CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, and more. It can also be used to monitor network activity and alert users when a process is consuming too much system resources. Additionally, the code provided is written in Objective-C and C, which are not supported on Windows systems.

    The first sentence is correct, the rest is just completely wrong.
