Everyone has limited time, and if AI assistance can increase the speed you can develop & iterate the product to better match user needs that is how it can result in a better product. Equally if it can help devs launch a month earlier, that’s a huge advantage in terms of working out early product/market fit. All things being equal, I would rather have a company with better product/market fit than one with great code (even though both are important!).

That's a very big "if", and one I just don't think will exist. Also, that only helps at the beginning. Add the product gets more complex, I believe the AI will help less and less until velocity will become slower than companies like mine. And product/market fit is just a way for companies to cover up the fact that their founders wanted to found a company, not solve a real problem. If you solve a real problem first, founding a company is simple and you "just" have to sell your solution.
