The Micro$lop outage says otherwise...
They code alright. They just can't architect for shit yet.
Junior programmers on steroids

Just burn more tokens bro, trust me, it will fix your code, just give us more money and let us waste more water and energy bro, it will make all the difference, please, bro
Feels relevant to the Microsoft outage
At least they fixed "Update and Shut Down" recently...
Well, if we're being honest, they can code for shit.

Yep, and you have to provide a specialized prompt with specific language. If you don't, it'll produce sloppy code, something that doesn't work, or worse a complex solution that cannot be adjusted.
Nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix
Ok, Altman
