AI without guardrails is an instant complexity creep. The complexity quickly overpowers it and the purpose of the project it was asked to work on. After a very low threshold that complexity becomes unmanageable by humans. At that point you become dependent on AI. The job of professionals now is to contain the complexity to keep projects maintainable and manageable, because even Claude will runaway and outpace itself and not be able to catch up with itself on a larger project. Humans are fully capable of generating spaghetti code too, but nothing can outpace AI in doing it. If you give up thinking you lose control and ownership fast.
