I let a popular agentic ai refactor some code for me today, it looked really nice, but despite the fact that it was meant to be splitting a file full of functions that already compiled and worked it rewrote them all and broke them comprehensively, it then tried to research how to fix them, even though working code was right there in the file and just kept making the code worse and worse. It also had some limit which meant it left the code partly refactored, ran out of its quota left everything broken and then when restarted suggested refactoring some more classes.
