I find it's directly proportional to the inputs you give it. So either you need to break down the requests into smaller boxes, or use a tool like Cursor or my preferred, Aider. They both automatically bring in more context about your codebase, such as Aider bringing in your whole git repo map, to help it integrate better.

my biggest problem in coding is when I'm looking at things spanning 10 directories and 100 files with totally useless name like controller/viewer.js, viewer/controller.js, viewercontrols.js, etc and try to find where, 15 function calls ago and 80 statements ago some bug occurred. I was hoping that AI could help untangle these messes.
