Something I have been very curious about for some time now. We know the quality of the code is not very high and has a high likelihood of bugs.

But, assuming there are not bugs and the code ships. Has there been any study in resource usage creeping up and an impact of this on a whole system. The tests I have done with trying to build things with AI it always seems like there is zero efficiency unless you notice it and can put it in the right direction.

I have been curious about the impact this will have on general computing as more low quality code makes it into applications we use every day.
