I just recently had an issue with Access, where running a report multiple times would randomly result in errors, or clean reports. The explanation copilot gave was that Access has a built in LLM now that is "interpreting" certain queries, and may result in different outputs, even different resulting data types. So doing a join on those outputs for the report, would sometimes result in reporting errors, even without changing the underlying logic. AI has sorta taken a calculator that used to reliably return 2 + 2 = 4, and turned it into one that sometimes thinks 2 + 2 = chair.
I don't know how comfy I am seeing AI integrated everywhere at this stage of the tech. It really doesn't feel mature enough for production.
