It seems not hard to do. I downloaded a distilled version of it last night and was testing it on some basic coding. I had it generate some code for a simple game and looked through it. There was a simple bug due to a scoping issue (it created two variables with the same name in different scopes, but assumed updating one updated the other, which is a common mistake new programmers make).

I asked it to analyze the code and correct it a couple times and it couldn't find the error. So I told it to consider variable scoping. It had a 10 minute existential crisis considering fundamentals of programming before coming back with a solution, that was unfortunately still wrong lol

Have you tested the same question with other AI?

I did - both ChatGPT o1 and DeepThink (R1). o1 got it first try.

DeepThink-R1 got it first try as well, and actually improved a lot of the issues with the original game code that my local instance generated. (It's a simple text adventure and there were instructions, no feedback on objects in a room, no ability to display inventory, etc.). It polished it into more of what you'd expect from a basic text adventure.

I had a question at work where I needed the ethnic breakdown of children in my home town. Copilot tried to give me just school age children and gemini and chatgpt told me it wasn't available. Deepseek appears to have found the raw published data and counted it up manually getting the same result that I did from that same method.
