I think it's just not great at Clojure, it's less popular and so there is less of it in its training data. Also Clojure seems to be kind of hard to get right.

I started trying to learn Clojure with this years advent of code, but got stuck and first tried to use ChatGPT to solve it. My impression matches yours in that it consistently produced non working code and even when told about the error it was unable to fix it.

Then I instead decided to let it use any tool or language it knows, and I'm now documenting how it's doing solving the things.

If you're interested, here is Day1 where I first tried to use it to help me solve it with clojure, but then I gave up and asked for any concise solution. So I got a working solution with `awk` https://blog.nyman.re/2022/12/02/chatgpt-does-advent.html

The second day I just let it pick anything, and it successfully solved the day2 puzzle using python which seems to be it's go-to language. https://blog.nyman.re/2022/12/03/chatgpt-does-advent.html
