GPT-5 Has to be The Worst Model I Have Ever Used For Coding
It is absolutely horrendous. Let me list out the problems
-
Thinks for a million years and gives very very comprehensive outputs as to what it wants to do and how it will do it. Good as a planner, maybe, but:
-
Ends up doing none of it and creating such pathetic simple base code that it does not even satisfy the basic prompt u had sent to it before to plan.
-
When asked to implement features in existing code it does it so poorly, barely outputs anything meaningful, does not integrate the features well within the existing codebase, and a lot of times (majority) thinks it has implemented boatloads of changes but has implemented barely any
-
IT OUTRIGHT LIES ABOUT THINGS
Either the model is very poor or it has to be the worst cursor integration I have seen in my time and I have used the crap out of cursor. Even auto seems to perform better for me than gpt5 and that I feel is a shame.
