It put the chart title directly on top of Australia.

Which just about sums up my experience with using LLMs to code, really (though not with these state-of-the-art models, admittedly) - it's amazing what they can do, but left to their own devices they'll make boneheaded decisions.

Yeah, the whole "can run for 9 hours on a task" to me is not a positive.

I tend to find if Opus 4.8 runs for ~15 mins on a task, then the end result has gone off in a weird direction at some point, and it needs winding back a fair bit.

And that's with extremely clear direction, literal specification docs to follow, etc.

That being said, having functional code already created beforehand (ie by a human) goes a long way to ensuring the AI model has a path it can build on without making too many dumb architectural choices by itself. Generally.

I believe thats why they put 'Sydney' as an option at the top to recenter the map.

The real issue with the title is that it doesnt fit in the box!
