When prompted like this:
> What could be the reason for a horizontal scrollbar appearing inside a <textarea>? Come up with a single likely fix path. Keep it terse.
ChatGPT instantly responded with some speculation and then the same exact fix, with zero access to the code or a browser or anything. It also included ways to fix it by removing code, saying:
> Likely cause: the textarea is rendering long unbroken text while horizontal overflow is allowed, often via inherited CSS such as white-space: pre, overflow-x: auto, or disabled wrapping
Which is certainly possible and would be an even cleaner fix.

Still don't know why people use Claude. Maybe because they don't know what they're doing.
You can get the same result as the grandparent comment with the "weaker" Anthropic models. Probably 80% of my AI usage these days is with smaller models like Haiku and Sonnet. I prompt them like I'm posting a question to StackOverflow, without much project context.
Yep, we’re all just dumdums.
