Because AI is unpredictable. Which is not a big issue for art, because you can immediately see any flaws and if you can't, it doesn't matter.

But for actually useful work, you don't want to find out that the AI programmer completely made up a few lines of code that are only causing problems when the airplane is flying with a 32° bank angle on a saturday with a prime number for a date.

We currently have the same problem with human programmers. That's why good companies always test the shit out of their code.

Was that the Boeing 737 Max issue?

Not exactly, no.

That was the point. Was not even AI but complex systems are complex.

Pretty much every major airline incident in the modern age is the result of businesses cutting corners to maximize profit.
