I told AI to build me a submarine out of titanium.

"All the engineers said my “screen door on a submarine” was “stupid” and would “sink the ship”, so I fired them and hired new engineers!"
- CEO of now defunct “Screen Door Subs Inc.”

Titanic sub was made from carbon fiber. Titanium is what he should have used.

Damnit, I knew that too. I stopped skimming too early in the Wiki paragraph.
The entire pressure vessel for the crew used five major components: two hemispherical titanium end caps, two matching titanium interface rings, and the 142 cm (56 in) internal diameter, 2.4-meter-long (7.9 ft) carbon fiber-wound cylindrical hull.[15] The forward hemispherical end cap could be detached from its interface ring, becoming a hatch that allowed crew members to enter the crew compartment before a mission, and exit at its conclusion.[3]

There’s a small difference, the imploded CEO was “boldly going where no man had gone before, on such an accelerated timetable and tight budget” - the screen door guy was a couple of orders of magnitude more foolish.
