Right now the AI companies are selling their product at a loss to try to get us hooked. I think it's fair to describe the current situation as "unreasonably cheap", though free is a bit of a stretch.
- Towaway69 4d agoIt will be interesting to see what happens when human developers become cheaper than token maxxing AIs. Interesting because by then codebases might have become so complex that these can no longer be modified, maintained nor understood by humans, so replacing AI with HI (human intelligence) will simply no longer possible. That then represents a certain vendor lock-in or Mafia stand off: either keeping paying or have all the code go up in smoke. Certainly not everyone will be facing this dilemma, but it certainly isn’t sci-fi considering the track-record of big tech.
