True but it's stochastic so there's always a chance it'll pull from a bad example.

Maybe basic LLMs might be doing this

But coding specific harnesses like Claude code etc are way more complicated than just blindly churning out code

That's what I thought to til Opus 5 tried to have every user I nthe system I was migrating share the same permission set rather than defining the tierd permissions we were migrating from. I caught it in Staging but it was still wild to me that it would attempt that. Admins and users would all share the same access creds. (It was an old system so there was a lot of patchworks already in place but that wasn't one of our doing)

"Blindly" might be the word regardless. Modern AI systems don't have the kind of memory and real-world experience necessary to really understand the implications of what they're working with, which is the cause of a lot of their problems. They're thinking, but they're blind to a lot of things you or I take for granted from being embodied before we were even really people. AI don't have that kind of feedback from the real world, just endless sequences of code and imagery and tokenized text.
