The problem of "instant legacy" systems: something that's vibe coded and reached unmaintainable by either the AI or humans, but is also now indispensable because users are relying on it.

I'm curious if this will cause a drop in quality that will lead users to generally lose trust in software.

Some of that is already there .. but the users generally have nowhere else to go and ineffective pushback. "Enterprise software" has been awful for decades, things like Lotus Notes and SAP. Everyone hates Windows; everyone continues to use Windows.

Users don't currently trust software. Look at what we've done to them - can you blame them?

The consumer space is about extracting every ounce of personal data possible.

The b2b space is about "maximizing customer value" - that is, not maximizing the value of your product to the customer, but maximizing the value of the customer to your business. Lock them in and lock them down, make your product "sticky" so they can't leave without immense cost.

Hey you can just rewrite (or should we say regenerate) it. Second system has never been cheaper!
