This has been my experience with almost everything I've tried to create with generative AI, from apps and websites, to photos and videos, to text and even simple sentences. At first glance, it looks impressive, but as soon as you look closer, you start to notice that everything is actually just sloppy copy.
That being said, sloppy copy can make doing actual work a lot faster if you treat it with the right about of skepticism and hand-holding.
It's first attempt at the Space Jam site was close enough that it probably could have been manually fixed by an experienced developer in less time than in takes to write the next prompt.
but my experience has also been that with every model they require less hand holding and the code is less sloppy. If I’m careful with my prompts, gpt codex 5.1 recently has been making a lot of typescript for me that is basically production ready in a way it couldn’t even 2 months ago
