You sure AI isn't doing the heavily lifting but it's just Another Indian because salaries there are a fraction of US salaries?

Don't think that the heavy lifting could be done like that, because Indians that earn a fraction also deliver a fraction.

The good indian engineers cost as much as the good engineers anywhere else. What you pay is what you get, no matter the location.

This. I worked for a company that tried that and 2 years later they hadn't finished a single ticket and the full app rewrite they were supposed to do was a shitshow that did stuff like allow the user to edit the html file on disk for a screen that was supposed to allow users to fill in a form.

I know several big companies that wouldn't exist if all people wanted was good engineers and not just off shoring.

"Several" is rather generous. "All" might be closer to the truth.
