* Three Visual Studio? 2008 licenses.
* Two Expression? Web 3 licenses plus an Expression Studio 3 license. - They gave me one for Expression 4 Studio Premium DVD

I found this a bit curious as it almost seems to be too good to be true, but I did verify everything and it appears to be legit. I do have the right to cancel within 60 days with no cause and not have to pay per the contract that I signed. Anyone else get set up with something like this?
I am a Mac user, and developer of web sites, but do have a couple of PC's laying around and will surely be checking this out very soon. I do want to grow my business and these might be some good tools to do so. If this doesn't work out for me, I will do the cancellation and provide total proof as they request of destruction of documents/downloads/materials.
A summary of the article shouldn't be an issue in theory, as the information is all based within the document itself. The problem with a lot of AI models is that they are trained off both Wikipedia as a primary source and other secondary websites which have less reliable information.
As an encyclopaedia it is no doubt going to have bias in one way or another, all encyclopaedias do. The difference is that there is a process for a lot of this information to be figured out whether or not it is an opinion, or the source of that information, and to be aware of the possible bias in the first place, even your own bias as a reader.
The way many people understand languages these days is quite limited, particularly in certain areas of the world. This is obvious in many types of "journalism" where some articles are thinly disguised opinion pieces, Where language is carefully curated to push a point of view despite it looking like fact. This is partly why a lot of the Western world is now so divided.
I paid for a year subscription, starting in December, I think. I like the user-friendliness and assets like royalty-free music and sounds. But they need to fix some of the horrific bugs before they start adding more features. For starters, you should be able to drag stuff around the timeline without it completely obliterating transitions, synchronization timing, and clip lengths. If you already set up footage and audio how you want, and try to insert more by sliding content to the right, you'll have to clean it all up again. The scroll wheel constantly stops working, and you have to minimize the window and restore it to get it back. When selecting text at the top right in special text tools, it glitches and goes to "copy" mode with a weird pop-up on top of your cursor and you can't type. These are more important than AI tools and new features. Microsoft, start by making your product less painful to use.
Wikipedia has become hot molasses with mostly filth masquerading as truth. Most of it is the imagination of few writers who think of themselves as above god. The narrative setup is mind boggling.
