I asked GPT4 to refactor a simple, working python script for my smart lights… and it completely butchered the code and apologized mid-generation.

No amount of pleading or correction would get it to function as it did just a week or two ago.

It is so over.

    This wasn’t always this case. I had zero Python experience a month ago, and managed to make a 300 line Python script that checks credit card validation, and has a beautiful UI. This would be impossible today.

          Somehow this looks better to me, possibly because of less redundancy (copy buttons aren’t needed when you have ctrl+c).

      They had to make it too dumb to draw Disney Characters… you think I’m joking, try getting it to render a disney character in SVG or javascript…
