I think this is more than just AI. When your main tool is duct tape then you use duct tape to fix the problems the duct tape made. Duct tape isn't even a good tape, not even for a one size fits all tape.
I swear, 80% of enshitification is because you can only patch things so much. A patch is a quick fix and a patch on a patch is an emergency.
We've created a world where we can move fast and break things, but no one ever cleans up the mess. We've created a world where we've convinced everyone you can learn anything fast and don't need any depth. We've created a world where you can get funding to upend an industry without hiring a single person working in that industry or having any domain expertise. We're just creating solutions looking for problems to solve, mindlessly optimizing arbitrary metrics, instead of trying to solve problems. We can still make large sums of money AND solve real problems at the same time. These need but be mutually exclusive.
