I believe firmly that AI is a bubble that's going to burst within the next few years simply due to the unsustainable costs of data centers and such. I think AI tools will always be around in the future as paid enterprise tools, but I don't think they're going to be available for free to the general public for much longer. As such, I think people who can develop software without AI tools will be in the best position to succeed and stay employed. | null | 4 |
