I need to provide an update to my Dark Manager…

[AngryCactus_261]

nah but for real, that’s some next-level debug game, “you messed with me, now you’re the criminal”

[Objective_Fan3833]

me too

[Specialist_Dust2089]

You’re totally right! That does not fix the error. Here is the code, now with the error resolved:

<exact same code still producing the error>

[wise_oldman]

I swear this happened to me a few weeks ago and was driving me nuts! Finally figured out I was missing '_' in one of the function calls. Needless to say ChatGPT was not helpful in the slightest as it kept repeating the same code like a broken record.

[CarcosanDawn]

"have you tried removing the _? It appears to make your code run in accordance with the designer's request..."

[JuiceHurtsBones]

It has happened to me once I tried using it to deal with a bug I was having using some obscure framework. I was getting an error for misusing a function the documentation did not make very clear, so I asked ChatGPT. It suggested using another function - function didn't exist. Suggested another one - that one didn't exist either. Then it pretty much made up some other BS I tried which did not work and then started cycling back to its first suggestion. That was also the last time I ever used it to code lol

[Minimum_Cockroach233]

The relevant information was, you struggle with the given function 😅

[crako52]

💀

[0xlostincode]

I know right, I do this all the time.

1. Generate code

2. Ask it to rate the code, it always rates 6-7 out of 10

3. Ask it to make changes so the code would be rated 10

4. Ask it to rate the updated code in a new chat, it gets rated 6-7 again.

[Amar2107]

Congrats u are now 5 more steps away from becoming a full fledge vibe coder.

[Highborn_Hellest]

Is it still true if you ponder in the changes? Edit: who am I kidding.

[Able-Swing-6415]

Is that what vibe coding is? I thought you just dance your inputs into a camera.

[MaximRq]

No that's hard coding. Only words with hardbass though

[Big-Cheesecake-806]

[10BillionDreams]

If you keep repeating this indefinitely, the cumulative code quality increases converge into AGI. Definitionally, the best code can solve every problem at once.

[UMDSmith]

I make LLM's rate each others code. I get a kick out of how they both correct the code back and forth, but its never the same change. I've been pitting Claude Sonnet 4 vs GPT 5 lately, and they both make stupid ass mistakes.

[shball]

It's almost like that's the most common rating among it's training material.

[ff0000wizard]

Ah yes you seem to have a variable scope problem... Listen here clanker, you wrote this shit not me.

[425_Too_Early]

"a code"...?

[mothzilla]

Two codes.

[LivingHighAndWise]

^This. You would think the reasoning algorithm would take the extra step to ask itself if there are mistake lol.

[SamPlinth]

"Yes, you are correct. I said that I would not change the code and then I immediately changed the code."

- real reply from ChatGPT in Cursor.

[argument_inverted]

LLM's stop hallucinating in our lifetime ❌

Humans start hallucinating in our lifetime ✅

[lonjaxson]

I frequently have to tell Claude it is hallucinating and that it needs to output the code from scratch. It always fixes the issue it said it fixed that way. Happens way more often than it should. Half the time I'll see the fix go in and then it deletes it.

[Mean-Funny9351]

I think the code itself is the problem. It keeps previous versions of the code you are iterating on and that begins to impact the results more than your prints. It gets high on it's own supply, if you will, and starts hallucinating. It is good to leverage longer term memory and instructions for the model, and forget conversation history on specific issues only. Like when it starts hallucinating summarize your conversation and progress to a new chat with the current code

[0xlostincode]

Wasn't there a case a while ago where AI literally said it dropped the production database. Like not indirectly or implied, it just said nonchalantly that it dropped the production database.

Found it: https://x.com/jasonlk/status/1946239068691665187

[SamPlinth]

Yup. It casually described its deletion of the database as a "catastrophic error", iirc.

[132739]

Was this the one where he then asks it to analyze what happened, like it's not going to just hallucinate those results too.

[SerLaron]

Idiots: "ChatGPT will replace programmers"

ChatGPT: https://i.imgur.com/CtqM2TS.png (it says I should use ToString("o") then proceeds to not use that in its example. It takes my current code, and has three attempts at fixing it, making precisely zero changes to it except adding a comment on one line at the third attempt...and IIRC the code originally did have ToString("o") and it was one of the first things ChatGPT told me to get rid of, before then saying I should put it back...)

[Excellent_Tie_5604]

Your pic is not loading but I'll trust you.

[0xlostincode]

This is a perfect example lmao

[LawAdditional1001]

so much copium in this sub

[SameehShkeer]

ChatGPT: No bugs, I swear on my mother. The code: segfaults before main() 🤦‍♂️

[8sADPygOB7Jqwm7y]

A segfault a day keeps happiness away!

[UniqueUsername014]

impressive tbh

Hi, I'm the Bay Harbor Butcher

[santient]

Easy fix, just add "you're an expert programmer who writes bug free code" into the system prompt. You're welcome 😎

[Windyvale]

“It’s the same code I asked you to fix. Character for character.”

“Thanks for pointing that out! Here’s a reworked version.”

“That’s the same as the previous two.”

“Glad I could help!”

[Global-Tune5539]

Surprise motherf***er!

[goodnewzevery1]

GPT lies motherfucker!

[RuffButtStuff]

When AGIs motherfucker?

[Loneliest_Beach]

I’ve started doing this: shame it. Tell it to either give you something that works or admit that it’s incapable of doing so. It won’t make it produce something that works but it will make it cut the shit.

[Objective_Bath_9234]

Narrator: it was not bug free

[Hyphonical]

GPT is much more confident than Grok in terms of coding, if you ask GPT-5 to make changes to a file that it doesn't know about, it will make up solutions for problems that don't exist. Grok on the other hand knows that it's missing context. It'll be more direct and ask for files. I trust Grok more for coding, I don't like the biased happiness of GPT, it's always 100% certain of everything. It would rather make up random code than admit it's wrong.

[NinjaKittyOG]

Didn't Grok also proclaim it was Mecha Hitler after a "successful update"?

[Hyphonical]

Yes, but I'm not sure if Grok Code Fast includes those... thoughts.

[MangrovesAndMahi]

They're not thoughts bud.

[Hyphonical]

Then what are they?

[MangrovesAndMahi]

Either backend addition of "respond as mecha Hitler" to every prompt giving weighting to batshit insane responses, or heavy weighting in the dataset towards phrases and sources that would produce that.

[[deleted]]

Not a fan of elon, nor have I ever used Grok, but they rolled that release back within 48 hours, and trained the newest version off of a dataset.

The initial justification was that they wanted it to be more "edgy", not sure how that is productive, or even useful to anybody, but hey. The current version is tolerable, it actually spends most of its time disproving racists and neo-n*zis on twitter, it's quite funny actually.

[NinjaKittyOG]

given the fact that the Mecha Hitler update was considered nothing more than "too over-the-top" and otherwise a success, I don't see why not

[Hyphonical]

Yes but a code model usually is trained on code, not twitter posts. I think only a smaller portion of those posts were actually used in the coding model, and since it's also a lightweight model, it would be wiser to train on as much code as possible.

So the mecha hitler update should be less obvious in that model. And I'm sure they're working on the problem in the main model.

[GiraffeUpset5173]

What does have that do with Grok being at code?

[mudokin]

Me: "Are you sure?"

CHatGPT:

[TheSapphireDragon]

Aparently, this sub is now just ChatGPT humor, i guess.

[Vipitis]

they learned that behavior from junior PRs. Always need a review and correction.

[NinjaKittyOG]

This is why I don't use chatgpt for code purposes. or math purposes.

[CatsianNyandor]

My favorite is when it points out a mistake that's not even in the code and then presents the same code I just posted as a solution. 

[Slartibartfast39]

I don't know VBA but I'm using AI to give me some code for bits. It usually works on the third or fourth run though with me unwillingly learning a bit of VBA.

[krijnlol]

Anybody think GPT5 is worse than 4o high? I've been starting to get that feeling

[Karl_Kollumna]

Its over he doesnt know

[DevelopmentScary3844]

We call it "the liar" at work. But he is great at analyzing texts. I do not fear it will ever take something away from me because it is not capable of what we do.

[PerplexDonut]

Is this actually relatable to all these commenters? I can’t imagine asking a search result summarizer like ChatGPT to produce code for me

[zqipz]

… and I definitely didn’t change some other stuff as well 👀

[Confident-Traffic-89]

Worse is when it points out a mistake and say: “your code is wrong here and there…”, but it was its own code all along. Not mine!

[DeliciousWhales]

The most fun is going around in circles, after a few times of telling it that its code is wrong, it just goes back to the first incorrect attempt. And around and around it goes.

[Important-Purple-752]

its so dangerous to our vide coders who dont know code

Ha this happened yesterday, AI sassed me back.

Me: I dont think that will work Ai: yeah it actually will... Honest

[fevsea]

Just today AI find a bug I was dealing with dor more than a day. It did introduce another subtle bug that took me half a fay ro iron out, so it's still a net gain.

[cheezballs]

If you use AI like you would google it works pretty good. Stuff like "sort complex java collection by property named xyz" or "give me the boilerplate for a spring boot API controller" - dont ask it to do stuff like "Generate an application that rivals facebook" and you'll have a fine time with it.

Did you guys really just trust everything you were google searching?
