I still see the argument that AI is bad af generating ideas, but my colleagues and I, along with many other researchers, have repeatedly found that even the old GPT-4 could be prompted to generate more diverse and higher quality ideas than most people.

Is Codex actually ahead of Claude Code now??? I tried Codex yesterday while doing some training optimizations on Andrej’s nanochat.
