People don't like this because you move the responsibility of verification to the reader.
Does the program cheat? Does it just query a table is saved in some backend? Maybe, I don't know, you don't know, and since the author only pressed enter once no-one will know until/if someone runs into any issues.
When you can create information for free, and you want people to use this information you need to provide guarantees, proof, and understanding beyond what the autonomous model has done. Otherwise you just move the burden of verification to the reader.
