    My experience over many decades is this:

    * If a business person thinks a change or new program is very easy to do, it is really a very hard project.

    * If a business person thinks the change or new program us hard to do, usually it is a trivial project.

    For me, this has been true for well over 40 years. I never use any kind AI for my work, it did not exist before I retired.
