what would be the alternative? to always execute if the condition is true, but sometimes execute it even when false, for funsies?

Hey, I like a little chaos in my codebase ๐Ÿ˜†

const funsies = () => (Math.round(Math.random() * 1000) % 2 == 0)
if ( condition || funsies() ) {
    // do the thing
}

Nope. I'm staunchly against "AI". If the code sucks, it's because I wrote bad code.

Edit: Oh, or did you mean is that how "AI" works?
