the issue is the return is amorphous and unstructured

there's no contract. you send a bunch of text in (context etc) and it gives you some freeform text out.

Sure, but I pay real money both to Antrophic and to JetBrains. I get a shitty in line completion full of random garbage or I get correct predictions. I ask Junie (the JetBrains agent) to do a task and it wanders off in a direction I have no idea why I pay for that.

Exactly, and we feel vindicated when it works but sold when it fails. Something will have to change.
