It can barely read a datasheet correctly, in my experience, getting confused between different registers.

I'll be more forgiving: I found it gets confused easily when it extracts text from a PDF because datasheets tend to be written in a not so parseable way for a machine. But 1) if you tell it to take screenshots of said datasheet, it'll have greater success. 2) We're in year n<5 (depends how you count) of the age of LLMs, this will get better over time. Either on the LLM side or the thing you feed to it.
screenshot of the 300-page datasheet? (not to mention the 4000 page TRM?) no thanks.

If the datasheet is only a few pages I'll read it myself :).

Yeah throw it at a moderately complex STM32 clock arrangement and see what comes out.
