Perfect example. You mean the C compiler that literally failed to compile a hello world [0] (which was given in it's readme)?

Hallucinating APIs for well documented libraries/interfaces, ignoring explicit instructions for how to do things, and making very simple logic errors in 30-100 line scripts.

As an example, I asked Claude code to help me with a Roblox game last weekend, and specifically asked it to "create a shop GUI for <X> which scales with the UI, and opens when you press E next to the character". It proceeded to create a GUI with absolute sizings, get stuck on an API hallucination for handling input, and also, when I got it unstuck, it didn't actually work.

Excellent examples, thank you!

Shame Claude Code doesn't have sharable chat logs, it would be interesting to see where your Roblox exploration went off the rails.

I think you can use https://traces.com for that
