Last time I used Codex it would make loads of assumptions, often quite big ones, without asking.

Did they fix that, as that for me was what actually made codex worse.

I find that I have to tell GPT and Claude to keep asking me questions, or they will just fill in the gaps themselves (wrongly).

  • My experience has been that Claude/Opus will ask me questions, although sometimes I have to step in and redirect a bit. Codex/GPT just dives in and cranks code out, which after using Claude for a year I found rather concerning. It wrote working code though. Claude/Fable does something similar (asks far fewer questions than Opus) fwiw.
