100% agree. “Just make your point in plain English!!” Very frustrating and takes me a lot longer to understand what it says. Also presents too many points as once instead of being able to review and decide on each one in sequence.

Re comments: same experience, and I had to show it my edits of its comments to add to its memory as examples to follow. It adds explanations of “how we got here” that should go in the ticket or maybe the commit message but not in the code.

It also tends to over complicate things. I’m no longer worried much about accuracy but I find my main job is to challenge it and suggest simpler alternatives.
