Yeah at this point I basically have to dictate all implementation details: do this, but do it this specific way, handle xyz edge cases by doing that, plug the thing in here using that API. Basically that expands 10 lines into 100-200 lines of code.

However if I just say “I have this goal, implement a solution”, chances are that unless it is a very common task, it will come up with a subpar/incomplete implementation.

What’s funny to me is that complexity has inverted for some tasks: it can ace a 1000 lines ML model for a general task I give it, yet will completely fail to come up with a proper solution for a 2D geometric problem that mostly has high school level maths that can be solved in 100 lines
