I see you haven't encountered an API where a GET command can modify the database.

Similarly, I once worked somewhere that had an HTTP API that returned status code 200 {“error”: “ok”} to indicate an error occurred.

A lot of GraphQL APIs are like this! They return a 200 just to mean the damn GraphQL is well formed, and the call can totally fail underneath.

I have not either. What's your point? AI isn't perfect.
