How did AI impressed you this week?

I have been playing STS2 this week a lot. When I ask AI to create me advanced savescum script and just pointed it to the save directory, I was not impressed when it succeeded on the first try. When I asked it to check if something is editable in save (that was the literal prompt) and made it create a script to edit a save with more gold and max and current xp, I was not impressed. When it had to figure out the Courrier artifact and add it to a new game - I was also not impressed. When the AI started showing awareness of the game itself talking about maps and exit nodes, when it tried to help me because I was stuck - (if there are no relics to be had, the chests didn't generate a circlet, but get stuck) - and figured out on itself that is should ask me about which path to take after the check. Well I was impressed.

Also Codex cli as personality is a lot less annoying than its ChatGPT version.
