If it can't output ~50 lines of code that is reasonably common from textbooks with one minor modification, I'm not clear what the benefit is

It's certainly not faster

I already stated I kept prompting it for over 30 minutes and it still hadn't fully completed the problem

Well, if it took you 30 minutes, it’s not the AI’s fault.

So, it's the same answer as every other time I've tried to talk to people supporting AI...

If it didn't work, I just I didn't guide it enough, and if I did guide it, it's a skill issue...

It is pretty hard to come up with an easier problem for it to solve for an example case

Mine worked fine. I didn’t use your prompt cut and paste though. It was inefficient on the first prompt, but it worked, and by the third it was pretty speedy. I used codex 5.5, which imo is better than Claude for the time being.

Claude 4.6 was doing shit like

extern char grid[5][5]

...

fgets(grid[i], 6, fp); grid[i][6] = '\0';

Yeah codex does some stuff where I’m pretty disappointed. It never really gets me 100% to where I need to be without human interaction. But I’m aware it won’t (probably ever) do that and I’m fine with it. It got me 70% there, while I play with my cat… and charge for it. 🤷‍♂️
