Yup yup yup. I burned literally a weeks worth of the 20$ claude subscription and then 20$ worth of API credits on gsdv2. To get like 500 LOC.

And that was AFTER literally burning a weeks worth of codex and Claude 20$ plans and 50$ API credits and getting completely bumfucked - AI was faking out tests etc.

I had better experiences just guiding the thing myself. It definitely was not a set and forget experience (6 hours of constant monitoring) but I was able to get a full research MVP that informed the next iteration with only 75% of a codex weekly plan.
