I think its like trying to get a toddler to accomplish a task and it keeps technically doing what you said but in an annoying and counterproductive way you didnt even think of yet and you have to just become insanely specific about what you want the toddler to do and when and in what order with what timing
That's actually really accurate when first learning to program. Eventually you figure out how to think like a toddler.
But then you gotta deal with the teenagers.
You tell them exactly what to do, and they do most of the time, but they can twist words and meanings to come up and do something entirely different when it suits their needs.
I cheated, my friends are in IT lol I get to hear a lot of complaints
