It's been awhile, but I once spent four hours trying to get Opus 4.1 to change the color palette of a bar graph, that would've taken me 5 minutes.
The only reason I wasted so much time was that given all of my other positive experiences, clearly I must have been prompting it incorrectly, and I should learn how to fix it.
After blowing four hours I just changed the colors by hand. I took away that it's almost completely unpredictable what will be easy and what will be hard for an LLM.
