Yeah today we do … what if engineered systems were more like humans, where we trade consistency for more interesting capabilities. Not to say there won’t still be traditional engineering for stable behavior systems, but these tools do have the ability to add a human touch to our software that wasn’t possible before. I’ll stick to software.
That's all well and good to ask as a what if, but in terms of practical applications, the vast majority of the time you want to trade the other way around whenever possible - you want your system to work reliably. That's the cornerstone of any project that wants to be useful for others.
