I disagree with much of your ai cant deal with complexity.

I dunno i am just saying be prepared because its going to blind side everyone thinking its a fad

    Could you give some examples of AI handling complexity? From what I've read from senior developers is that the more scope AI has to chew on the more mistakes it makes. In terms of complexity I'm not talking about algorithms, differential calculus, or mind breaking recursion. I'm talking about the usual hodgepodge of monolithic microservices too many "Were a tech company that does X" companies have built over the past decade that are layered on top of software built before I was born.

    Maybe I'm just creating too complex and specific use case, but my time as a software developer had me working through problems like that.
