They don't always do the simple things well which is even more frustrating.

I do Windows development and GDI stuff still confuses me. I'm talking about memory DC, compatible DC, DIB, DDB, DIBSECTION, bitblt, setdibits, etc... AIs also suck at this stuff. I'll ask for help with a relatively straightforward task and it almost always produces code that when you ask it to defend the choices it made, it finds problems, apologizes, and goes in circles. One AI (I forget which) actually told me I should refer to Petzold's Windows Programming book because it was unable to help me further.
