To be fair, if I wrote 3000 new lines of code in one shot, it probably wouldn’t run either.

LLMs are good for simple bits of logic under around 200 lines of code, or things that are strictly boilerplate. People who are trying to force it to do things beyond that are just being silly.

You managed to get an ai to do 200 lines of code and it actually compiled?

4o has been able to do this for months.

Play ASCII tic tac toe against 4o a few times. A model that can't even draw a tic tac toe game consistently shouldn't write production code.
