Something I've noticed AI code do is excessively defensive coding style.
It's possible that your code is overly and unnecessarily defensive.
A human gets this because they have sense and taste, the machine just cares that it runs and passes the tests.

Let me give a concrete example: The AI might try to install a package from the repo that we know isn't there, and if it fails, then try to install it from where we know it's supposed to install from. This is nonsensical. Just install it from the known location. Fable BTW.
