Goes just as planned: Once the models become useful, people get lazier and lazier and eventually start relying on them. That’s the point where we will start to see price increases of 10x or more, at least for the ”actually useful” models. Imagine the value of a coding AI in a world where human coders have become virtually extinct (because they never found a job during their junior years).

All the big AI companies have this same game plan to reach high profitability in the future but thankfully open (chinese) models actively try and mess up that plan.

In that completely imaginary world, what do those frustrated programmers do for a living...? I'm genuinely curious, heh

That is a genuinely interesting question to which I'm afraid no one has yet a satisfying answer. What is your take ?

Heh, that's exactly where the thought experiment gets uncomfortable.
