For me it’s like “I type some quick stuff in, and then, like, agency comes out and I get to see stuff get built, and it works great 20% of the time, okay 60%, and fails 20% of the time, but, that produces a kinda skinner-box slot machine element to it.” (to be clear I think the skinner-box bit is bad, the “stuff comes out with little effort” part is great. It’s like jamming with a partner who can do most of all the tedious parts of the work)
My impression from your other posts is that you are mostly just getting a much worse hit rate (because yeah if it’s not really set up to excel in a domain, it’s a lot less workable)

No, the hit rate sounds mostly similar. I think it’s more that I may have unusually strong anti-gacha instincts? Like, if I’m doing something, momentarily reflect on it, and recognize that it’s equivalent to playing a slot machine, this immediately causes negative feelings in me and sours the whole experience. Which I guess is usually a good adaptation to have, but may or may not be be anti-helpful in this specific case.
