Issue

Just installed. Added a file. Aider does random refactors (factorial and commits them)

Version and model info

Aider latest, model: gpt-4o

When reporting problems, it is very helpful if you can provide:

• Aider version
• LLM model you are using
• Any stack traces or error messages
• A description of what you were doing when the error happened.

Including the “announcement” lines that aider prints at startup is an easy way to share some of this helpful info.

Aider v0.37.1-dev
Models: gpt-4o with diff edit format, weak model gpt-3.5-turbo
Git repo: .git with 243 files
Repo-map: using 1024 tokens

It depends a lot on the model you use, I particularly like Claude2 more, it is more coherent when following instructions, for development it considers that he has better control of the changes, although it still makes mistakes, with openai I always say when starting not to make changes, only those that I tell you and try not to change the code if it is not necessary
