The whole benefit of computers is that they don't make stupid mistakes like humans do. If you give a computer the ability to make random mistakes all you have done is made the computer shitty. We don't need checks, we need to not deliberately make our computers worse.
The same thing happens when I have a project that I’m leading where I have 3-4 other developers. It’s not deterministic that they will follow my specs completely, correctly and not have subtle bugs.
If they are junior developers working in Java they may just as well build an AbstractFactoryConcurrentSingletonBean because that’s what they learned in school as an LLM would be from training on code it found on the Internet.
