In order to use it,you need to know that it is not just a calculator. If
you grew up with slide rules, then the answer is probably good enough in
that instance. In my simple testing, it seems to only deal to the first
two dp's. e.g 0.69/0.26. (and until I asked for higher resolution, it
gave the correct answer to 2 dp. )

I'm hoping, that in later iterations, it will be able to test it's own
answers, but as is, it generally eventually gets to my desired result.

0.6931 divided by 0.2624 is approximately 2.6413872

You're dead right there, wrt Bing. I'm getting it to write a pretty
comprehensive batch file, to process an openscad svg and generate a
specific version of g-code. It started off by saying it couldn't parse a
file, but it lied. It is taking a while, as I test each iteration, but
it will get there. The result will have plenty of room for improvement,
but It will work good enough.

I've patiently gone through 33 iterations of trying the batch file
script generated by the AI (within Bing), and feeding back the errors or
results. It eventually seems to get into a loop, repeating previous guesses.

This is the input file  (just one line)

M 10,-10 L 60,-10 L 60,-60 L 10,-60 z

The output that I want which should be

G01 Z-5
G01 X10 Y10
G01 X60 Y10
G01 X60 Y60
G01 X10 Y60
G00 Z2

I think the closest it has got is the following batch file

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set "inputFile=input.txt"
set "outputFile=output.txt"

if exist "%outputFile%" del "%outputFile%"

for /f "usebackq delims=" %%a in ("%inputFile%") do (
    set "line=%%a"
    set "firstM=1"
    for %%b in (!line!) do (
        if "%%b" == "M" (
            if "!firstM!" == "1" (
                echo G01 Z-5 >> "%outputFile%"
                set "firstM=0"
            )
            set coord=
        ) else if "%%b" == "L" (
            echo !coord! >> "%outputFile%"
            set coord=
        ) else if "%%b" == "z" (
            echo !coord! >> "%outputFile%"
            echo G00 Z2 >> "%outputFile%"
        ) else (
            for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=," %%x in ("%%b") do (
                set y=%%y
                set /a y=-1*!y!
                if not defined coord (
                    set coord=G01 X%%x Y!y!
                )
            )
        )
    )
    if defined coord echo !coord! >> "%outputFile%"
)

endlocal

it does not show the Y values, although in earlier attempts it did, but
produced other errors.

Neat that you're making progress on this!
I approached it from a rather different perspective and instead used RapCAD for G-code generation:
https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview

I've been documenting it at:
https://willadams.gitbook.io/design-into-3d/programming#gcodepreview

and have been using it inside OpenSCAD Graph Editor:
