Jevon’s paradox. We’ve been constrained by how much software could be produced for decades.

Making it easier/faster doesn’t increase leisure, it increases the demand for (cheaper) software.

And it also increases the competition! Most of the giant tech companies aren't really making money by having X amount of software. They make their money by having software that is better than their competition, so they can get Y amount of users. But if your product's development is now simplified because AI can reproduce it, you still have to work harder to keep that competitive advantage
