Spoiler: this is to automate ticket submission to my landlord's half-baked web portal, not some kind of nefarious captcha breaking thing.

1000% agree. It's also easy to talk to it about something you're not sure it said and derive a better, more elegant solution with simple questioning.

Gemini 3.1 also gives me these vibes.

You sound quite jaded. The people I see struggling _the most_ at prompting are people who have not learned to write elegantly. HOWEVER, a huge boon is that if you're a non-native English speaker and that got in your way before, you can now prompt in your native language. Chinese speakers in particular have an advantage since you use fewer tokens to say the same thing in a lot of situations.

Being compassionate to The User sometimes means a figurative wrist slap for trying to do something stupid or dangerous. You don't slap the user all the time, either.

I was a Kaiser Northern California member and yes their scheduling system was dysfunctional — they were the better of the options my employer offered.
