I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop in terms of costs to serve for AI before I start freaking out. Maybe a super AI could replace an engineering org, but how much will it cost? Developer wages are already being depressed by off-shoring. The era of the $300k/yr app dev is over. AI companies can burn cash to acquire customers for one off prompts. But what happens when you are severing multiple prompts a minute? You are going to want to charge by usage instead of monthly. Will this be cheaper than a human? Maybe. Probably not if there another major disruption to the chip supply chain.

Also AI demos really well for basic problems with lots of examples on the internet. Anyone who has used LLMs for niche domains knows that its not as reliable. I think this means Business Students are impressed since they use problems they learned in class, for which they are many example solutions. Worse even are the demos of AI "correcting" itself.

Remember when AI and robots were going to replace fast food workers? Still hasn't happened. It's because they cost WAY more than the workers themselves.

Although I think Logo designers are going to be in a world of hurt. At least until people get tired of the same re-hashed AI logos.

they were already in a world of hurt; fiverr ate their lunch.

bespoke, all-in marketing, still had a use for these guys, but they could get some Filipino guy to do the design for $5 overnight
