alt Hacker NewsThe models used for apps like Codex, are they designed to mimic human behaviour - as in they deliberately create errors in code that then you have to spend time debugging and fixing or it is natural flaw and that humans also do it is a coincidence?
This keeps bothering me, why they need several iterations to arrive at correct solution instead of doing it first time. The prompts like "repeat solving it until it is correct" don't help.

No, all the models are designed to be "helpful", but different companies see that as different things.
If you're seeing the model deliberately creating errors so you have something to fix, then that sounds like something is fundamentally wrong in your prompt.
Besides that, I'm guessing "repeat solving it until it is correct" is a concise version of your actual prompt, or is that verbatim what you prompt the model? If so, you need to give it more details to actually be able to execute something like that.
