IT guys are paid a lot not to be lazy.

Changing data types in an interface is a boring job (didnt Office Space joke at that?) but doing this via some broken AI will probably introduce even more spaghetti.

Reality is that those systems should be killed one by one and finally when there is one system, it should be upgraded to something better. What is very difficult.

20mil for the new system, 80mil + 5 years of implementing for the translation layers to communicate with the legacy systems.

It take so long to replace each of the systems, by the time you get to the "one true solution" 40 years have passed and you are back where you started.
