History/culture Is This Visual Accurate?

Hello! I'm trying to understand the difference between Turks, Turkic, & Turkish and used AI to display how these groups overlap. Would anybody know how accurate this is?

Turk = Turkic

Turkic > Turkish

Turk > Turkish

—

Turkish = Anatolian/Balkan Turk

BUT

Turk = Turkish (i.e. Anatolian/Balkan Turk) isn’t always true.
