Drowning has essentially nothing to do with water and everything to do with a terribly designed ability to get air into your lungs.

If you'd do a retrospective and ignore how AI has shaped expectations and a company's culture to allow this to pass through into production, you'd be complicit/perpetuating what led to this debacle in the first place.

It's not the end of the world, and water isn't going anywhere, but saying AI has essentially nothing to do with it is just a bad take.
