It was very bad at it, but nonetheless managed to eventually miss enough rakes to produce something coherent after a lot of hand holding. It kept assuming in its drunken daydreams that problems were due to compiler or emulator bugs instead of its own incompetence. I can relate. Yet, when it was told to consider the (what feels like obvious) actual problem, it could course-correct adequately enough. Some of the structure it chose was eerily familiar... like... did it steal this from the original XOmB? Am I plagiarizing† myself? This all to say: some of this code is its hallucinations.
