This does not seem obvious to AI-developers, you cannot fix what you do not understand.

Also, if you use AI to write your code, you are not a developer either.

Let's say AI completely disappears right now, many of the so called "developers" are unable to write code, are unable to fix code, they cannot code.

There are two kind of developers:

1. Non-developers: Use AI for everything, to write code, to test the code, you name it.

2. Real developers: Search engines are broken right now, they use AI as a tool, as replacement for Google to ASSIST you, not to do the task for you.

As AI is falling apart and companies are hiring people back, these non-developers will find themselves out of work.

Ai will fall apart as an industry but it's likely that models on par with e.g. opus 4.8 will be runnable on a home server within the next year and a half and that model hosts will still exist. I figure these tools aren't likely to go away.

AI is here to stay, full stop.

The problem is IT professionals who depend on AI for everything. That is crashing down and won't be pretty.
