Stockfish evaluation system is "Garbage"

Well not all the time though. Computers beat humans with no energy and stamina costs. However computers make moves and evaluate moves weirdly. Sometimes it give u an A+ for not doing a mistake (well computers says) others got a decent A or B. Moves played by the player that seems good turns into an inaccuracy. Some basic tactics count as a brilliant. 

Computers will not able to make u better, in fact on chess.com evaluation would advertise new lessons that are very irrelevant to the key mistake u are facing. Now some 400 Elos got basic brilliants which I'm not going talk about it, but proud of them but like how is evaluation bar gonna help u improve chess ? It is impossible to play as a Computer unless using it. Computers doesn't have a mind and doesn't lose energy like a full 1 hour and 30 minutes in a Chess World cup tournament. The only way to improve chess is just to play continuously games until u can feel what is the key mistake. Computers rarely able to spot really key and blindly mistakes, unlike it can help u in tactics it rarely help u in making a good strategy. 

What do u think?

That's just not the point of computer chess

Stockfish provides a really fast way to identify where you went wrong in a match. It may not always be obvious why a move is better than another but knowing where your weaknesses were in a match can only be a good thing.

In openings it would be useful but in intensive mid and endgames it wouldn't tell u why u keep doing these mistakes and even rare mistake like strategies it barely make way for the player to improve

Analysis engines are tools. Every tool works best in the hands of someone who knows its strengths and its limits. You don’t use a hammer to secure something with a screw.

The opening post somewhat resembles a ChatGPT text (lot of stuff, loosely connected, none of it makes any sense). I wonder if it was actually written by a language model AI.

ChatGPT understands basic grammar. The OP violates it.
