I've just encountered this happening today, except instead of something complex like coding, it was editing a simple Word document. I gave it about 3 criteria to perform.

Each time, the GPT made trivial mistakes that clearly didn't fit the criteria I asked it to do. Each time I pointed it out and corrected it, it did a bit more of what I wanted it to do.

Point is, it knew what had to be done the entire time and just refused to do it that way for whatever reason.
