Like anyone, it can always keep adding new code that “works”. The problem is that it’s causing other code not to work at the same time, and it doesn’t see that.
More important than code that works now is code that can be reviewed and maintained so it will continue to work in the future. AI-slop, even moderately-sized, might pass the test cases and seem to work, but it is doubtful it will continue to work in the future, particularly if a code base continues to accept more slop.
