Yes this is one of my concerns.

Usually about 50% of my understanding of the domain comes from the process of building the code. I can see a scenario where large scale automated code works for a while but then quickly becomes unsupportable because the domain expertise isn't there to drive it. People are currently working off their pre-existing domain knowledge which is what allows them to rapidly and accurately express in a few sentences what an AI should do and then give decisive feedback to it.

The best counter argument is that AIs can explain the existing code and domain almost as well as they can code it to begin with. So there is a reasonable prospect that the whole system can sustain itself. However there is no arguing to me that isn't a huge experiment. Any company that is producing enormous amounts of code that nobody understands is well out over their skis and could easily find themselves a year or two down the track with huge issues.
