think a lot of teams add AI because they feel they have to, not because they have thought through what it actually changes. The maintenance burden is real. AI is not a one time build. It needs constant tuning, monitoring, and updates as your product and customer needs evolve. I have also seen cases where AI features got ignored because they solved a problem customers did not really have. The teams that get it right seem to start with a specific pain point, not just “we need AI.” Would I add it again? Probably, but I would be much more deliberate about where and why.
