Depends on their definition of "working" .

I tried asking an AI to make a basic webrtc client to make audio calls - something that has hundreds of examples on the web about how to do it from the first line of code to the very last. It did generate a complete webrtc client for audio calls I could launch and see working, it just had a couple tiny bugs:

  • you needed an user id to call someone and one was only generated when you call (effectively meaning you can only call people if they are calling someone)
  • if you fixed the above and managed to make a call between two users, the audio was exchanged but never played.

Technically speaking, all of the small parts worked, they just didn't work together. I can totally see someone ignoring that fact and treating this as an example of "working code".

Btw I tried to ask the AI to fix those problems on its own code but from that point forward it just kept going farther and farther from a working solution.

That's the broken behavior I see. It's the evidence of a missing understanding that's going to need another evolutionary bump to get over.
