> It'll be fine in the short term, but in the long term it'll cost you more money. That's the primary reason why I don't think AI will catch on - its short termist thinking from people who don't understand what makes software complex to build, or how to actually produce software that's cheap in the long term. Its also exactly the same reason that Boeing is getting its ass absolutely handed to it in the aviation world. Use AI if you want to go bankrupt in 5 years but be rich now

I think your analysis is sound from a technical perspective, but your closing statement is why AI is going to be mass adopted. The people who want to be rich now and don't care about what will happen in 5 years have been calling the shots for a very long time now, and as much as we technical folks insist this can't possibly keep going on forever, it's probably not going to stop sometime soon.
