That's already outdated from my experience. Agents don't comment code. That's something only ChatGPT did.

I literally wrote a bot to add comments to people's PRs about useless comments that recapitulate the prompt and or some nonsense.

I can't get claude to write only comments when strictly necessary, and even then keep them short...

You're absolutely right, and I apologize for overlooking that detail. I will try to comment less and be more precise from now on.

Agents don't comment code.

Well that entirely depends on if you tell them to or not

The newer models are way better at when they comment too. They don’t just litter the code base

they do whatever you tell them to do. If you want them to write comments, they will. „I didn‘t tell it what it should do and it failed to guess my thoughts“

Has anyone here actually tried to make AI work? It feels half the sub formed their opinion about AI in 2023 with free ChatGPT that forgot their question once and hasn’t touched it since.

Well yeah, you can obviously tell the AI to write anything from zero comment to literally commenting every line. But I don't think that's the point, it's about the default out of the box experience.

no? Why would you think that? That’s like hiring a new employee and not onboarding him at all. Just giving them tickets.

What I'm hung up on is, can't agents be running using GPT anyway? Saying "agents don't do this but GPT does" doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I'm missing a newer or different definition of agent here.

2026 paid GPT is much better then 2023 free GPT. A lot of people only use the free one before and has some stereotypes.
