To me this a tell of AI - it should read "cat-and-mouse game."

I think AI sees the cat and mouse as individual objects joined together with a hyphen rather than knowing it's a type of game.

It's also the wrong idiom. A cat and mouse game generally implies that the mouse spends time running away and actively evading the mouse. Owning a tablet that isn't receiving updates to a avoid the "cat" isn't that.
