Today we asked Gemini CLI to check if any of the files in /home/user/dirname contained a word.
It churned for >5 minutes and didn't solve the problem.
grep, of course, solved the problem in under a second.
AGI is going to be a while, and your jobs are safe.
Try it with Claude Code on Opus
Gemini CLI isn't very good
Edit: Also, the more competent models (Opus/ Sonnet to a lesser degree) are good at very complex subtask delegation that it can blow through and attempt and then verify in seconds, so not sure hand crafted regex examples are the best counter examples here
New code patch models that I didn't even take seriously are actually really impressive and pretty new
