Could go either way, TBH.
So long as there are in fact those things, and so long as it didn't sneak something else in there at the same time, it being just on the knife-edge between sense and word-salad is better than "fix".
Buuuuuut far to often it says it fixed a bug I reported, when it only touched one superficial failure mode rather than the root cause.
Yesterday's issue: Why is zoom/pan randomly failing? It told me it was because it was applying a transformation matrix with every input and sometimes JavaScript gave it a non-invertible matrix (why?) which then propagated NaNs everywhere and you can't update a matrix filled with non-numbers.
Why was it doing that in the first place? Seems to be because it's too motivated to perform quick wins and not sufficiently motivated to do good engineering.
Good thing this was just a game editor. Spiky intelligence: superhuman on some dimensions, total noob on others.
