Sounds like a slot machine. Insert api tokens, get something that's pretty close to right, insert more tokens and hope it works this time.

Except the tokens you insert have meaning, and some yield better results than others. Not like a slot machine at all, really. Last I checked, those only have 1 possible input, no way to improve your odds.

That’s fine if your expectations are consummate.

How's that different from a human developer? Give the same task to different developers and you'll get different levels of correctness and quality. Give the task to the same developer on different days and it is the same.
