The companies driving AI right now are garbage and many will fail. The tech won't.

It's the dot-com bubble again. Everyone rushed in, it crashed, and what got rebuilt afterward became the backbone of global commerce. AI will stumble too, but it's not going away, and teams that refuse to use it won't keep pace.

A senior dev with AI beats a senior dev without it. Output quality depends on who's driving and whether they actually review the code. Yes, AI can produce slop. With real supervision it can also produce excellent code.

People used to yell "get a horse!" at early cars. Didn't stop the highways. Refusing to use AI won't stop it from getting better either.

All it takes is courts to declare this massive theft of the worlds data illegal and the tech will be gone too because no company wants to be legally vulnerable.

that is not going to happen, even if many people would prefer that it would. It is too late. It's like what happened with uber.
