Reminds me of the new Simon the Sorcerer game. The Linux build used a script to launch the actual game. The only thing the script did was to call the game's binary. Trouble was that they misspelled the binary. Just launching it once would have shown them the error.
Now imagine the developer who wrote that terrible code starting to use AI to excrete exponentially more terrible code...
The verb form of excrement is to excrete.
The more you know!
Non-native English speaker. Thanks!
But think of how much faster they could put terrible code out!
I mean, this is actually the type of overengineered error LLMs make when coding. Especially back then.
