Ah, but did it have to write a bit-banged I2C driver with multi-master support first, or could it just call "i2c_write()" and "i2c_read()?
The latter of course - I told you it did pretty well after all :)
It's a machine that saves you multiple copy'n'pastes, so you can just do a single copy'n'paste.

I stand corrected
It took me a while to realize that what I was experiencing was this particular problem, but I already did all the hard work there and only asked it to explain how it fails.
I also recently tried to use it to write a code for drawing wrapped text formatted a'la HTML (just paragraphs, bold and italics) in C, again, just to see how it does. It took me about 2 hours to make it output something that could be easily fixed to work (it didn't without edits, of course) - and only because I already knew how to tackle such task. I can't imagine it being helpful for someone who doesn't know how to do it. It can help you come up with some mindless boilerplate faster (which is something I used it for too - it did well when asked to "write a code that sends these bytes to this I2C device and then reads this address back"), but that's about it.
