What issue are you seeing?
I gave the AI a task; it spent half an hour thinking about it, then gave me some text files. So I decided to tell it, “Just give me the patches already.” In the end, it spent another half hour thinking, and I ended up wasting my entire quota for nothing—there weren’t any patches in the code at all. It’s just mindlessly searching using rg and all sorts of PowerShell stuff. The question is: WHY?
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Give him a small piece of code with some issues and simply set him the goal of fixing it; in the end, he’ll get bogged down in pointless musings that won’t lead to anything.
What is the expected behavior?
Well, logically speaking, it should be doing the work, not reading files—spending half an hour reading code that consists of 30 files. I mean, it's just nonsense.
