It is just as easy to get solvable chess problems from computer/computer games
as from anywhere else.  People post them here all the time.  Jon Dart (in
particular) comes up with lots of them from studying online computer games.

Every computer program will blunder in some position.  Some a lot more than
others.  The professional programs hardly ever do, but even the best will still
make laughable mistakes from time to time.  Steve Ham posted some analysis
before that is revealing.  One move that was particularly funny was where a
program trapped its own piece.
