Shitty AI generated Dyson Sphere is off-center. Whole thing is going to destabilize and collapse.
That's what happened to Larry Niven's Ringworld. Cool concept but laughably unsupported by basic Physics. Niven had to write a sequel not because anybody wanted to see more of his characters but because he was tired of readers telling him what a moron he was.

O'Neill cylinders are the only real reliable megastructure that would actually function.
