    Yes, i like to rant.
    Yes I confirm this:

    Yet they produce bold statements about AI being in the 50 top programmers and shit.

    LMAO

    I tried vscode copilot insider both normal and with agents up to o3-mini and all other models (gemini, claude, etc)

    I just had to do 2 things:

    1) Custom angular table component which follows usual angular standards and custom columns are available (button columns, date columns etc). Asked to add an accordion column and test it in a component.
    Given other samples from my code and internet.

    Totally fuck up. Column never appeared and never worked. Tried to refine prompt and context 10 times each model. Nothing. it just spits shit in the chat console and tries to do backflips in resoning (agent mode) and also in edit mode.

    Sometimes it even gets stuck and just goes into edit mode and refuses to modify files and just spits the code in the chat LMAO and I have to reboot vscode to make it work again.

    2) Tried some unit tests with jest, given PLENTY of samples of working tests from my code.
    Told it to strictly adhere to every syntax, rule and detail it sees in my tests.
    Yet it adds unwanted imports, fucks up stuff and invent things.

    what a delusional shit

    I literally said to myself: "Sigh, I want to believe this shit will relief me from the unbearable pain of dealing with this shit angular code and this utter shit jest crap idiotic framework for testing.
    I will allow myself 2 days to waste time on this retarded shit".

    2 days wasted, ai = useless and bug shit.

    Heck at some point i thought I was unable to write prompts and let another ai write my prompts for me to feed into copilot, but it didn't change anything.
    I read an article that said you shouldn't talk "robotic" to ai and you get 10x results and i tried to talk to it like i was explaining to a colleague, then to a kid. Nothing.

    Again work is safe. They are years away from making anything really replacing any human programmer with decent experience.
