Not just complexity, but also anything requiring any actual ingenuity. It's impressive how "junior" it can be, with its (current) statistical shackles. Worse, if you flat tell it what to do, if your approach is too far into the statistical weeds, it'll flounder like crazy.
what is an example?
Just tonight I was trying to get Claude Opus 4.6 to design a lock-less data structure, and it kept failing to solve problems which I kept then solving for it, but once presented with the solutions it was able to check them, and I think correctly so (that's not nothing!).
