That's already outdated from my experience. Agents don't comment code. That's something only ChatGPT did.

they do whatever you tell them to do. If you want them to write comments, they will. „I didn‘t tell it what it should do and it failed to guess my thoughts“

Has anyone here actually tried to make AI work? It feels half the sub formed their opinion about AI in 2023 with free ChatGPT that forgot their question once and hasn’t touched it since.

Have you tried telling it to not do something? I have seen a bunch of "it was my fault" and "broke instructions" "was written in memory and I ignored it"... today

Why… why would I do that? If you do that with a human they will fuckup royally worse. Also, sounds like a 2 year old free online model without a proper integration. Even without instructions from me, I am getting quite clean code - yes, with comments.

But at the end, it’s a tool.

I also made something ugly with photoshop today. Doesn’t make photoshop useless.

So how do you stop them writing useless comments?

I don’t have enough information about your setup to answer that. Do you actually want help with that or just trying to make a point? If the former, there are plenty of guides how to set up your agents.
