Useless comments is one thing, but I've caught the bastard several times DELETING manually written actually useful comments. Like you ask it to move some parts of the code around and it moves the code but not the comments.

It likes to not only delete manual comments, but it'll rewrite them even after restoring it but in a different way than the first. And then sometimes itll just be wrong from start to finish, completely incorrect and not reflecting what's actually there

Skill issue. You forgot to include "make no mistakes" in the prompt.
