    If the issue is ‘10 years ago we bodged something, now our whole system rests on it, but we can’t fix it because it costs too much’

    Surely that cost is only gonna come down? Certainly in terms of time required.

    Obviously AI isn’t a one click fix, but whether it’s finding the issues, fixing them, or testing them, it’s gonna speed it up?

    It will speed things up, but it speeds up whoever is using it. If the person using it doesn't have the experience and judgement to know when it's not giving the best advice then they're going to trust it blindly and just make a mess of things even faster.

    A shit analogy would be: powertools don't make everyone amazing at DIY, but they do enable the bodgers to make the same mistakes faster. Or make the people that wouldn't tackle a DIY project at all likely to have a go (and make a hash of it).
