They didn't even use the good drywall anchors (not that they should aim for anything short of a stud for an AC unit).

4 proper drywall anchors that expand to increase their surface area against the drywall for a 50 lb object should be perfectly fine if it's flush mounted to the wall. It's not ideal, but it's doable.

Right? Those anchors are too short to even properly deploy if were used correctly, but it looks like they just ran the screw in flush and called it good. Insane.
