Can we get refunds when the AI keeps fumbling? :)

Just asking… At the moment AI Studio seems more destructive than helpful. While working on an App, the AI decided that the index.html file could be restricted to just the headers and a description. Complete meltdown of the app happened. Easy to fix, but it’s a flaw in the AI that counts against my budget…
And I’ve noticed that AI Studio tends to do weird things more often, adding features that I did not ask for and sometimes completely rewriting the code and user interface, while I just asked it to adjust a text file, icon or whatever.
Or, I asked the AI to add a settings dialog for the user to provide an API key. And it included a Mode option to it, allowing the user to switch between dark and light mode! I never want that functionality in my app!
Of course, the AI makes more errors like this, and that’s okay. Except, it counts against our quotas, so we pay the AI for making errors. And if that’s just once every ten times, then okay, acceptable. But at this moment I tend to get error after error as AI Studio keeps implementing things wrong. And I wonder why we should pay for that many mistakes.
So, can we get refunds when we tell the AI that it made a mistake? :slight_smile:

I thought you were having no problems?

No serious problems. Only today I was creating a new app that uses the Google Maps API and I have been struggling to get the AI to make it right. But now it works and has been distributed to my server, where it works just fine. :slight_smile:
I now have my own route planner as a website. A very simplified app that allows me to download the route details as a Markdown file to pint in a readable way. I will expand it so I can keep a list of routes in the system and will implement a user login so people can log in and use it to store their own routes on this server. I just have to work out some security issues and a proper database format to store all data. (Although the API key will be stored in the local storage of the user themselves, as I don’t want to store keys on my server.)
But I had some fun issues with it, as AI removed the settings dialog so users could not provide the API key. And the AI hiding the map or removing some of the options I had set. And various other annoyances that are easy to fix. But it would be more practical if the AI just followed my instructions and didn’t decide to add features as those “might be practical”. (Or whatever excuse the AI comes up with.)
