Why does every new AI model feel like a mechanical coder?

A user on reddit.com expressed frustration that current AI models, including opus, fable, sonnet, gpt astra, and grok, primarily function as "mechanical coders." They are seeking an AI model that can understand and respond to real human situations, rather than just focusing on coding. The user believes that existing models are too focused on coding and hopes for an upgraded or better version of gpt 4 that exhibits more human-like understanding.

This post highlights a user's specific dissatisfaction with current AI models like Opus and Grok, unlike general critiques, by explicitly calling them "mechanical coders."
