You had me at "fuzzy", but lost me at "clean up" - because that's what I usually have to do after it went on another wild refactoring spree. It's a stochastic thing, maybe you're lucky and it fuzzy-matches exactly what you want, maybe the distributions lead it astray.

On the line test, I guess it's highly probable that the joke and a few hundred discussions or blog pieces about it were in it's training data.

I only have experience with Claude Code. If it goes on a spree, the task you are giving it is too big IMHO.

It's not a SAT solver (yet) and will have trouble to precisely handle arbitrarily large problems. So you have to lead it a bit, sometimes.

Was recently optimizing an old code base. If I tell it to optimize it does stupid stuff but if I tell it to write profiler first and then slowly attack each piece one at a time then it does really well. Only a matter of time before it does it automatically.
