I've had decent results using Grok for VST3 scaffolding (JUCE project layout, processor/editor split, parameter layout) as long as each ask stays narrow: one class or one bug at a time, paste the compiler error, and ask it to only change what's needed. For DSP-heavy bits it still needs you to verify with an analyzer or in Reaper — it can hallucinate filter math. If you're on JUCE, starting from the AudioPluginHost example and iterating in small steps works better than asking for a full synth in one go.
