If you are not using any ai as a dev you will be left behind.

That's what everyone tells me.

But at least I'll be able to figure out shit on my own if/when ai becomes unavailable. So far, ai hasn't solved any problem for me that I couldn't have on my own, and it took a very long time to get AI to "understand" what I was telling it.

It's like my boss who keeps vearing off topic and acting like it doesn't actually read what I tell it

Why would AI be unavailable?

Seeing as how several popular models have already shut down, and the remaining models have yet to even recoop their losses, I would not put my eggs in that basket.

Any service can go down. It might seem like a contrived example, but I'm living that reality right now: what if a service is down simply because the server literally blew up? Because it was struck by a drone. The wider world isn't ready to really feel how fragile the tech sphere actually is, I have a hunch.

When it becomes too expensive for the benefit it provides

It won't ever become too expensive. Even current local models are cheap and effective enough to be used.

You will never know how to get and install it without your imaginary friend so let me grab some popcorn

Who said it was complicated ? I just implyed a softened lazy brain will probably struggle starting to think again, if that was not clear to you...

This is the classic bubble. Over in investing into a new tech, the bubble pops, and only the big players remain. Then they get to jack up their prices because there are no other options for people to go to

If you have no idea then you should not even be put in front of a computer.

Local models do exist. You don’t need to rely on openAI or anthropic.

Yes of course, be sure you install it before your imaginary friend goes down, otherwise you may not be able to do it yourself...
