Since when is a 4000 line of code project "advanced software"? That's about the scope of a sophomore year university CompSci project, something where there's already a broad consensus AI does quite well.
4K was never advanced software. Even in the 90s, a typical Enterprise sofware was several 100 KLOC. A decade later, it had grown to a few million LOC while system software are also similar size.
I think you're parsing the original claim incorrectly. "Advanced software teams" does not mean teams who write advanced software, these are software teams that are advanced :-)
