Still need to prove that AI-generated code is "better", though.

"More profitable", in a world where software generally becomes worse (for the consumers) and more profitable (for the companies), sure.

I don't see that as a likely outcome. I think it will make software better for consumers. There can be more bespoke interfaces instead of making consumers cram in to the solution space dictated by the expensive to change software as it is today.

That doesn't make sense: they could already spend more resources to make the software better, but they don't, because that is more profitable.

If AI makes doing the same thing cheaper, why would they suddenly say "actually instead of increasing our profit, we will invest it into better software"?
