I asked it once to simplify code it had written and it refused. The code it wrote was ok but unnecessary in my view.

I was kind of shocked by the display of opinions. HAL vibes.
My experience is, that it very often reacts to a simple question with apologizing and completely flipping it's answer 180 degrees. I just ask for explanation like "is this a good way to do x,y,z?" and it goes "I apologize, you are right to point out flaw in my logic. Lets do it the opposite way."
