This all depends on how you define "better".

I am an amateur programmer and tried to port a python 2.7 library to python 3 with GPT5 a few weeks ago.

After a few tries, I realized both myself and the model missed that a large part of the library is based on another library that was never ported to 3 either.

That doesn't stop GPT5 from trying to write the code as best it can with a library that doesn't exist for python 3.

That is the part we have made absolutely no progress on.

Of course, it can do a much better react crud app than in Sept 2023.

In one sense, LLMs are so amazing and impressive and quite fugazi in another sense.
