1) that also means companies will have to lower their prices too, because of increased competition - it's not going to just replace jobs - and there's no decent reason shareholders should get most of the value here. Unless there's some monopoly. 2) perhaps - but I think it will both improve and degrade (because it will not necessarily propose the best adjusted solutions to the contexts, notwithstanding some "optimistic" consideration of its capabilities - for instance, will lateral thinking be among its capacities?) - AND it will require more of a collaborative editing mindset to grow, to stay in a programming role. Collaborative both with the AI and the other people in the same roles. 3) the problem is we're not sure at what extent AI will be predictably decent; will it replace only some computer programming tasks, or also researching/consulting/counselling ones (that is, the ones that _drive_ strategy as trying to make sense of the world, to draw a vision and how to implement it) 4) definitely; could well be a booming sector as the Web has been in the 2000's Plus: 5) AI may very well become an accelerator rather than something else. When a company may find a local maximal niche for its business, it will become even more cheaper and faster to both optimize for this found local maxima and to explore around for even higher/different grounds. 6) we may not completely rule out yet that IP laws or RGPD-like laws could totally break down any commercial viability for LLMs and such AIs as we "fear" them today. Maybe we're just in a "Napster's so amazing" brief moment.
