    Going off the pictures, it looks like it was just suggesting "just increase the time limits to solve the time limits being hit" as a solution, it wasn't trying some sort of subterfuge. Looking at the exact language used, it sounds like it got the concept from people suggesting increasing the timeout threshold as a solution to connections timing out or the like, which is very funny because it's learning "instead of fixing the problem, is ignoring it and hoping that's good enough an option?" from engineers.
