    worse?

    they’ve always been fucking terrible.

    coding assistants in general are annoying and get in the way more than they help.

        If you pay them they’ll publish anything. Half the stuff on Spectrum is sponsored content or barely disguised ads now

      Did the AI crash silently while hallucinating your source?

        Are you not able to provide AI with a prompt clear enough for it to do the work you requested without problems?

                Yes, you cannot provide clear prompts. As I suspected.
