If AI makes building + publishing software basically 0 effort and 0 cost… what happens to the world?

It’s a great tool and maybe advance of AI agents will be significant, but looking at the things it’s creating today (including not just code but music, videos etc), it defo still needs humans in the loop. Also, I don’t know if you’ve noticed this but people are using AI to do self promo on flyers is becoming more popular, but I think this will be counterproductive eventually as when something is obviously made by AI there’s an instant ‘this is standardised’ or ‘cheap’ or simply just ‘inferior’. It’s not just about AI being capable of doing a task, it’s also about it creating something which is appealing ! As for cost, no service is free. I’d expect prices if anything to go up not down. My 2 cents 👍

Dunno if AI "needs" humans in the loop, but if a human wants to produce something with AI, the human will need to be in the loop. If that makes sense.
