It's pretty good, yeah. I get coherent results >95% of the time (on well-known problems).

However, it seems to really only be good at coding tasks. Anything even slightly out of the ordinary, like planning dialogue and plot lines it almost immediately starts producing garbage.

I did get it stuck in a loop the other day. I half-assed a git rebase and asked codex to fix it. It did eventually resolve all debased commits, but it just kept going. I don't really know what it was doing, I think it made up some directive after the rebase completed and it just kept chugging until I pulled the plug.

The only other tool I've tried is Aider, which I have found to be nearly worthless garbage
