Can We Trust Code We Can't Read? Testing QWED on Machine-Optimized Code

A Simple Question for a Complex Future
Imagine this: You ask an AI to write a program. It works perfectly. But when you look at the code, you see this:
print((lambda p,q,m:(lambda n,phi:(lambda e,d:(pow(m,e,n),pow(pow(m,e,n),d,n)))(65537,pow(65537,-1,phi)))(p*q,(p-1)*(q-1)))(61,53,42))
What does this do? It encrypts and decrypts the number 42 using RSA. It works correctly. But can you verify that just by reading it?
This is the future of code. And we need to prepare.
