Which is no surprise as the data for web development stuff exists in large amounts on the web that the models feed off.
Interesting, I've been using Claude Max with UE5 and while it isn't _brilliant_ with shaders I can usually get it to where I want. Also had a bit of success with converting HLSL shaders to GLSL with it.
