This resonates with my recent experience using Bard (not the latest version of Gemini). It would produce something that initially seemed surprisingly good, but then when I actually tried to run it it turned out to be totally broken. I'

My first programming course was CS 61A at Berkeley, taught with the textbook Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. I had tinkered around a bit with other languages before that, but hadn't got seriously into programming unt
