Something Feels Off — But You Can't Quite Name It
You didn't build the software yourself. You described what you needed to an AI tool, clicked through a few prompts, maybe hired someone who works the same way, and ended up with something that mostly works. Orders go through. Invoices get sent. Customers can log in.
But lately there's a low-level unease. A billing run that doubled some charges and missed others. A customer record that just... disappeared. An insurance policy that got flagged as cancelled when it wasn't. Nothing catastrophic, but enough that you've started checking things you used to trust.
And you've started wondering: is this just my situation, or is something broader happening? Are all these AI-built systems quietly more fragile than what came before?
That instinct is right. Something is happening. And it has a pretty clear explanation — one that doesn't require you to understand code at all.
