Was trying to be a sport and use GPT5 exclusively to write a python script that I could have whacked out in about 2 hours. The task was simply authenticating to an on-premise instance of sharepoint, reading a list of folders and documents recursively, authenticating to a cloud instance of confluence and recreating the structure as confluence pages while converting every docx to a confluence page and generating a link to the other ones.

After 4 hours of correcting and babying it it managed to successfully authenticate and parse the file and folder structure, but didn’t implement any of the conversion and linking logic correctly. I know gpt 5 is not geared towards coding, but it’s the only thing my company has (copilot) and I had to spoon-feed it on details for the auth mechanism and parsing for example so much so that it would have need easier and faster to just do it by hand.
