I don't buy it.

I think that could work, but it can work in the same way that plenty of big companies have codebases that are a giant ball of mud and yet they somehow manage to stay in business and occasionally ship a new feature.

Meanwhile their rivals with well constructed codebases who can promptly ship features that work are able to run rings around them.

I expect that we'll learn over time that LLM-managed big ball of mud codebases are less valuable than LLM-managed high quality well architected long-term maintained codebases.
