Also a lot of business applications have to play well with legacy systems, that have a bunch of quirks, that cannot simply be deduced by using AI.

It can when trained to include those “quirks”.

Microsoft has a website where you can practice training your own AI models. Try it and learn.

Bingo! Much of those quirks are only known to people who have worked on those systems for years. It's corporate memory that an AI can't mine. When that corporate memory gets retired or laid off, there isn't an easy recovery path. When I left PacBell in 1991, there were 360 major projects underway. I was one of thousands of people who left the company at that time. Out of the 360 projects, 180 were a total loss. No way to continue. It was capability being built for the future. The remaining programs were farmed out to contractors. In one case the contractor worked on a project and proclaimed victory. A program review revealed that the contractor had achieved victory interfacing to ONE other system. The contractor was ignorant of the other 5 systems that were required for the process flows to work. Essentially, that was a "scrap" too as the corporate memory had been retired or laid off. Oops.
