Astra is indeed the pinnacle of "black box slop". It is overall a smarter software development agent for many things I do, but the code sometimes is indistinguishable from Brainfuck when writing things like GPU shaders. It doesn't even attempt to make it remotely formatted or readable.
- Buttons840 6d agoHave you tried identifying exactly what is unreadable about it and telling it to make it more readable? I had GTP-5.6 write some shader code recently and it wasn't very clear to me. I spent about an hour chatting with the until I understood the concepts and was able to express them back to the AI using math formulas and variables named in a way that made sense to me. The AI then rendered the code using the formula and variables I was familiar with and it was clear to me.
- djmips 6d agoPerhaps you could have just written it yourself.
- Buttons840 6d agoI could have after the AI explained it all to me, but at that point the AI knew what aspects I valued and wanted to emphasize to make it readable, so it just wrote it for me. By that point, the AI was just typing for me.
- meowface 6d agoI'm sure I could. The first pass being inscrutable dense noise just is annoying.
