If AI makes code a commodity, then why is the prescription for everyone to ship even more code even more urgently?

My gut reaction, as a professional developer, to my (previous) company's AI mandates was an instinctive "wait but..." -- it didn't logic out to me. Now that I have much more AI experience under my belt, I understand the tension, it's a superpower and net-net ok so more features and more "stuff" will be built. But it's a very hard thing to balance. It's always been a bad idea for a company to position themselves as the one with more "stuff" in it.
