Well yes there’s your problem. But people have been doing this with random snippets found on the internet for a while now. The truth is that irresponsibles developers will produce irresponsible code, with or without LLMs

With a few clicks you can add hundreds of lines of code which supposedly does the right thing. While in the past, you would get code snippets for a particular aspect of the problem that you are trying to solve. You still had to figure out how to add it to your code base and somehow make it “work”
