In my experience, if you have the necessary skills to point it at the right direction, you don't need to use it at the first place
AI is a tool, not a solution.
Actually the 4o version feels worse than the 4. Im getting tons of wrong answers now..
Yeah, it's not supposed to be better than 4 for logic/reason/coding, etc.. its strong points are it's natural voice interaction, ability to react to streaming video, and its fast and efficient inference. The good voice and video are not available to many people yet. It is so efficient that it is going to be available to free users. If you want good reasoning, then you need to stick with 4 for now, or better yet, switch to something like Claude Opus. If you really want strong reasoning abilities, then at this point, you need a setup using agents, but that requires some research and understanding.

It does but when you input error logs it does pretty good job at finding issues. I tried it out first by making game of snake that plays itself. Took some prompting to get all features I wanted but in the end it worked great in no time. After that I decided to try to make distortion VST3 plugin similar to ZVEX Fuzz Factory guitar pedal. It took lot's of prompting to get out something that actually builds without error I was quickly able to fix those when I copied the error log to the prompt. After that I kept prompting it further eg. "great, now it works but Gate knob doesn't seem to do anything and knobs are not centered".
In the end I got perfectly functional distortion plugin. Haven't compared it to an actual pedal version yet. Not that AI will just replace us all but it can be truly powerful once you go beyond initial answer.
Not a programmer by any means (haven't done any since college) but I've asked it for help in writing Jira queries or Excel mess and it's been pretty solid with that stuff.
