The problem, at least for me, is that I feel like the product offerings suggested to us in other comments (not Claude/ChatGPT, but the third party tools that are supposed to make the models better at code generation) either explicitly or implicitly market themselves as being vastly more capable than they are. Then, when I complain, it’s suggested that the models can’t be blamed (because they’re not experts) and that I’m using the tools incorrectly or have set my expectations too high.

It’s never the product or its marketing that’s at fault; only my own.

In my experience, the value proposition for ChatGPT lies in its ability to generate human language at a B+ level for the purposes of a an interactive conversation; its ability to generate non-trivial code has proven to be terribly disappointing.
