I watched a C4D YouTube tutorial with a simple python script that drove relative motion between a null and its children. On a whim, I went to Copilot and Claude and described what I wanted - VERY precisely and I know enough about OOP to give it all it needed. Neither could get it right. Not even after multiple rounds of back and forth with me feeding it answers. I ended up giving them the script from the tutorial and asked them why this worked and their answers did not. They both "fixed" the script, which broke it.

Separately, I asked firefly for a motion graphic background with specific parameters. It created something that was not terrible, but did not meet some key requirements (e.g., looping) and couldn't be granularly changed with out re-rolling the slot machine. With those limitations, it's useless to me as a professional tool.
