and yes, i was using claude 3.7 mostly but now i can use gpt-5. but i've found that they are utter shit at writing code correctly, consantly taking steps to "add an import" or "actually use a variable somewhere" and shit like this. it spends half the time fixing its own errors.

i don't find it actually that useful. and the number of times i've caught it skipping the whole point of my query i have lost count. even puts comments in there "ah but we aren't going to actually do this" and it spent 10 minutes writing all this other shit and didn't do what i asked. about 2 times out of 3 it doesn't do anything like what i need it to, and i just end up doing it myself.

the hype around it is extraordinarily false.
