You're bringing up exceptions rather than a rule. Sure you can find things they mess up. The whole premise of a lot of the "AI" stuff is approximately solving hard problems rather than precisely solving easy ones.

I believe future AI systems can make correct answers. The rule is clearly specified in Go specification.

BTW, I haven't found an AI system can get the correct output for the following Go code:

    package main

    import "fmt"

    func main() {
        for counter, n := 0, 2; n >= 0; n-- {
            defer func(v int) {
                fmt.Print("#", counter, ": ", v, "\n")
                counter++
            }(n)
        }
    }

What do you base that prediction on? Without a fundamental shift in the underlying technology, they will still just be guessing.

Because I am indeed experiencing the fact that AI systems do better and better.

The opposite is true, they sometimes guess correctly, even a broken watch is right two times a day.
