God, imagine debugging 250,000 lines of code to find some bug the AI created.

You expect those 250k lines to be comprehensible? In my experience they'll be an utter clusterfuck.

You can't fix the airplane if it turns out to be a boat with legs, 2 holes (worked around with 5 pumps) and 3.5 enormous ears tagged "wings".

I find the kind of absurd fever-dream images it conjures to be very entertaining. I try to put as many contradictory concepts into various generators to see what it comes up with.

Even worse is if they're completely plausible, but there's a very subtle logic bug in there that is super hard to spot because of just how plausible everything is.
