This feels like a bit of a leap?
That's like saying "I just bought the JetBrains IDE Ultimate pack and some other really cool tools, so we no longer need a founding engineer!" All of that AI stuff can just be a force multiplier and most attempts at outright replacing people with them are a bit shortsighted. Closer to a temporary and somewhat inconsistent freelance worker, if anything.
That said, not wanting to pay for AI tools if they indeed help in your circumstances would also be like saying "What do you need JetBrains IDEs for, Visual Studio Code is good enough!" (and sometimes it is, so even that analogy is context dependent)
I'm reminded of rule 9 of the Joel Test: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08/09/the-joel-test-12-steps-to-better-code/ https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08/09/the-joel-test-12-s...
