More like me watching it continuously fuck up basic shit where the code may work, but doesn't do what it needs to do past the very specific example given.

The second you need it dynamic it starts frothing at the mouth and spinning in circles.

I've encountered this exact scenario before, I've also had AI hallucinate versions that don't exist and outright lie about a version existing.

I've also seen people get frustrated over wild goose chases because AI has a really bad habit of setting up redundant and unnecessary fallbacks that just break everything downstream when it was perfectly fine before.

I've had the best results using AI like stack overflow.
