That’s not really an argument, it is central to my point. The current system does exhibit those issues and it is by human creativity and outliers that we have some points of escape from it.

Codifying and distilling it removes the points of escape.

Sure, it's not an argument if you ignore half of what I wrote. Your previous reply to me was similarly disconnected from the comment it was responding to.

Were the systemic issue to remain unaddressed AI would certainly be expected to make it worse. But it could be addressed if there was the will to do so. In fact AI could actually be leveraged to improve things by taking on the role that physicians play now thus freeing them up to pursue the edge cases that don't fit the mold.

In the same way AI frees up SREs and developers to focus on all the downtime and bugfixes they’ve caused by using AI now?

Humans don’t get to drop down to 2 9’s though… we just die.
