Except COBOL has completely different number handling, so one-on-one migration will cause data corruptions.

Might not mean much on infrequently used systems with hundreds of interactions per year, but on fundamentals like SSNs, this will kill people.

Good programmers usually commit to ethics codes, cowboy AI "developers" usually don't.
