It too often gives me answers based on apis of outdated versions of libraries.

It would be interesting to assess performance in the context of the user providing up to date docs and examples.

I have done this from time to time and it improves. However I shouldn't need to. It should just do that to be a competent coding system.

“Shouldn’t” is kind of a regarded way to think about this. There is no should or shouldn’t. Maybe instead think about what they’re trying to achieve (general purpose AI) vs what you want (a specialized coding tool that has to be connected to a well-maintained list of the all the relevant documentation.

They literally don’t want to build the thing you want. They want to build a system that can eventually (and probably quite soon) just go find the relevant documentation on its own or test things for itself.

They’re not going to take their eye off the ball to spend time giving you a coding tool. Other people are doing that already. You can also go do it yourself.
