Doubt.

How much money has been pumped into these products, to produce slightly coding tools?

Despite what the AI boosters keep screaming, these tools are absolute shit at anything outside programming.

I highly doubt they will stick around outside of tech companies once prices rise to the true costs.

I think this is a fair point. I'm not a programmer but I'm a well paid professional with a technical background and the means to dive in.

I cannot find a single significant use in my working or personal life for AI (I have infrequently used it to look up information - for example, providing me with plumbing advice).

I've looked into products like OpenClaw etc. I'm desperate for a significant personal use for this technology - but I just can't find one. It's incongruent with the constant public proselytizing I see online

They aren't even good at programming, despite the repeated claims to the contrary by AI bros.
