Define accurate?

It's just like any other AI system, it returns results as a best effort proposition of accurate with a % confidence that doesn't map well to binary outcomes.

So yes, it can be accurate. But there are scenarios where it must be strict or binary correct, and its not great at that bit.

I’ve had it confidently tell me to use Python libraries that don’t exist, pass parameters to methods that aren’t in the method signature, and to write code that had to be debugged and fixed.

I’m still excited to use it, but you have to know enough about coding to ensure correctness. It’s no where near possible for a non-coder to build a complicated app with (so far).
