There have been several instances in Mobileread forums where someone has looked for help with a program generated by generative AI. One forum that I hang out in once in a while has now banned asking questions about such programs since all too often, the person submitting the question lacks the skills to make use of any help they are given so they basically need to have the program rewritten for them which turns into a time sink.
Somewhere in the basement, I still have the code and output from the first WatFOR program I wrote in 1968 that actually ran. I used the 3-way arithmetic IF a few times and committed multiple other sins making debugging the program a total pain.
