Pessimistically but realistically, it doesn't matter if AI will perform better, it just matters if it's cheaper. A historical example is all the offshoring of mission critical code starting in the late 90s, early 00s. The code that came back was sub-par many of the times, particularly for the cheaper shops, but the executives got their bonus for saving money and bailed out. The new executives are now in charge of fixing the disaster of a codebase that they were left with.
I think history will rhyme with the offshoring trend but with AI this time.
