This New York Times article documents what we've all noticed: for all its benefits, AI-generated code can also overwhelm teams of developers responsible for reviewing it.

Zooming out, this is a classic problem in operations: supercharging one department can render downstream departments less effective.

Zooming out even more, this is a core challenge in highly-connected structures (like complex systems): changes in one area can lead to unexpected, even hidden changes in far-away areas. Sometimes you don't catch this change until it's too late.

Sum total: your company's AI transformation calls for a whole-of-business analysis. Those one-off genAI efforts will feel great for a moment, but can lead to longer-term problems.
