I don't disagree, but whoever never put math they don't fully understand in their code gets to throw the first stone.

I've reached solutions by trial and error too, and tried to rationalize them later, quite a few times. And it's easier to rationalize a working solution, however adversarial you claim to be in your rationalization.

I don't see using gen AI for the (not so) “brute force” exploration of the solution space as that different from trial and error and post fact rationalization.
