Often in the past I have felt that software engineering contains a lot of reinventing the wheel again and again in slightly different ways. In an organisation that wants to achieve anything you're often stuck collectively fantasising about all the things you could do "if only" A, B, C and D were solved problems within the internal IT landscape. My hope is that the increased productivity can eventually translate into actually doing those things.

We fret about AI adding a bunch of bad code but I see that there are clear methods for avoiding/mitigating this. (Just make sure to test and otherwise verify that the code does the right thing. Make it transparent and easy to replace etc etc.)

Sure it can be used to add a bunch of technical debt but wielded right it can just add well be used to cut down the debt.
