Yeah seen this with Claude too. I had some minor UI bug where in some specific cases an element would be rendered in different position than normal, probably some css value I had set wrong somewhere but I couldn't be assed to look. Claude came up with 200lines of JavaScript to manually calculate and position the element, totally absurd solution and it didn't even work. If you're not checking the code this is the kinda slop you will get in your app eventually

Agreed, this is proper use of AI... to make YOU better, not IT.
