Isn't it how it works right now with Excel? Pretty sure every company relies on a obscure spreadsheet that no one knows how to maintain

I wouldn't be surprised, but there's at least someone around who could unwind it if necessary.

There's a big difference between limited access to domain experts and no access (or so limited that the costs are exorbitant or the individual is overwhelmed with opportunities).

My time horizon for these sorts of failures is ~10-20 years out. By that point, the younger generations coming into the workforce will have been fully conditioned (or just discouraged) out of thinking and building skills, wholly reliant on AI. I look it as a "gradually, then all of a sudden" problem.
