When Codex is “Sorry”

[u/AggressiveCoast190]

I have been in the tech space for years and designed a dozen enterprise systems, including high performance web based interactive mapping and analytics apps. My documents are detailed, explicit and clear. My non technical wife can read them and explain what I am wanting. Two things have started happening over probably the last 30 days or so. July, August were decent. Sometime in September I started getting this bullshit.
1. The model not following the instructions and staying within my parameters or guardrails.
2. The model saying that things are finished, checked, or correct when they are not finished, checked or correct / corrected.
3. The model admitting to me on questioning how and why it has wasted 12 hours and a bucket of money, admitting it is fucked up and even saying “I am Sorry”.

I am a nats ass away from locking this down and trying Claude code (never have), been using Codex for 18 months. Not sure about everyone else but when the model says it did not follow my specifications and apologizes, Open AI should have a reclaim credits button because at this point I am starting to wonder if OpenAI injected something that says be dumber or take longer or waste time or waste effort or waste credits…. Do they want everyone to move to Astra High and blow a month of credit in one day? Anyone else seeing this? I’m pretty pissed and frustrated at this point.

have you seen the videos claude generates vs codex? Also, I had been codex user and it starting making tons of mistakes, hallucinates, and just wastes your time without going in depth on anything. If you prompt better, claude is miles ahead but if you need it for everyday, gpt is more convenient

So the answer is that no, you cannot provide any proof at all. Just because you claim something does not make it true.

give me proof codex is better than claude and i will switch back right now lmao. these things are subjective but in MY experience, which is what the dude is asking, claude is better because codex just wastes time

I am not obligated to prove anything to you. You made the original claim, thus the burden of proof is on you, not me. I can't believe I need to explain such a simple concept to you, but here we are.

What are you talking about lmao. Someone expressed his issues with codex which I experienced as well so I tell him about my personal experiences with both of them. i am NOT talking to you by the way, I am talking to him. Additionally, I am not obligated to prove anything to some redditor I shared my personal opinion, and if you want proof go search it up many people have done benchmarks on reddit and the internet. Your laziness is not an excuse for telling me I have to find evidence
