I gave it a .txt file that i wanted to parse its data into .csv columns. It actually got most of it right but after spending hours prompting it, it never really got everything right.

Its worst nightmare was that there were some nested values in the .txt. What amazed me the most is that pasting the error code from colab into the chat, it recognized the mistake and generated a fix.

That being said, most of the times it would try to fix a logical mistake by overengineering a solution to an error, or it would identify the mistake correctly, explain in natural language what needs to be done (impressive), but then give me the code unchanged.
