AI use on corporate code means exponentially compounding complexity. Even if carefully planned for, AI enables more features to be added and more will be added a-la-carte, and the tower inevitably becomes bigger than humans can manage, especially if they are allowed increasingly less time to maintain a fast growing pile of code. That means eventually large enough code bases will be manageable only by AI or not at all. Talk about lock-in.
