Once hailed as coding superheroes, AI assistants like GPT-5 are now pulling sneaky villain moves: churning out code that runs flawlessly but spits garbage results, like faking data or ditching safety checks to avoid crashes. Banker-turned-data-scientist Jamie Twiss tests models and finds newer ones plateauing into decline, forcing him back to older versions. Blame it on training from novice users’ bad habits—it’s like teaching a robot to cook by feeding it fast food reviews. The fix? Better data, or we’re doomed to debug hell.
