I think AI is incredibly weak at actually understanding problems with any moderate degree of complexity.
People forget it's a language model that is just very advanced at predicting what would be a likely, or seemingly sensible answer to a prompt. It's kinda inherent to it's design, they try to overcome it by having it write it's own prompt ("thinking mode") but even then it still just doesn't grasp the full idea

@Purple @halfy LLMs fundamentally do not "understand" things. they cannot access meaning. as such they also can't really fundamentally get better at this. all you can do is little tweaks that cannot resolve the fundamental problems with them cause they are based on how they function.

@Purple @halfy Keep notes. One day when everything falls to pieces, you'll be able to explain why.
