Having done two rounds at different Fortune 10s (one being Microsoft) I can tell you: This isn't AI, this is the result of years of "make it work" and duct tape.
This is "It'll be safe if we leave it on the intranet" and then someone says "Zero trust!" and then all the sudden things that had authentication on the inside are also going through a new and different layer of authentication. A stack of totally reasonable expectations stack tolerance on tolerance, and just like the Sig Sauer P320, it has a habit of shooting you in the foot when you least expect it.
