As someone who is fully avoiding AI tooling, I think a lot about how a lot of people these days have no clue how to navigate to a destination without a GPS.
Programming is a "use it or lose it" type skill like anything else, and AI seems to be filtering out a lot of the people who don't really do it for the joy of building stuff. It kind of sucks to see people being able to do what I do without the time investment, but it's only a matter of time before people end up with a cognitive dependency on a non-free system.
Even though AI is "open-source", it requires a prohibitive amount of resources to make it work effectively. Once there's sufficient market capture, you can be certain that AI companies will start price gouging.
If you wrote your software by hand, you'll be able to maintain and fix it by hand. That's my philosophy, anyways.
