The AI companies are arguably taking taxpayers (via electric bills) on a ride. A lot of the code, which people get fooled into thinking are AI "solutions", is code already written by humans or even stolen by disregarding licenses and copyright. A problem not just in programming, but widely complained about by book authors and artists. The "AI" makes a few changes of the free content it sucked up, then gives it back based on correct prompts, for a fee. They got it for free, but you will pay a fee. If it is not something simple, it's often riddled with errors or takes a huge numbers of prompts to get it right. So some time was saved in typing, but then lost in code review and fixing errors. Humans that can understand what they are doing, troubleshoot, and architect are still needed.
