This kind of short-sighted, simplistic reasoning / behaviour is what I worry about the most in terms of where our society is going. I always wonder - who will be the people buying or using your software (build very cheaply and efficiently with AI) once they can do the same, or get replaced by AI, or bankrupt themselves?

Everybody seems to be so focused on how to get ahead in race to profitability, that they don't consider the shortcut they are taking might be leading to a cliff.
