I think there's going to be a strong inertia between suits replacing humans with AI because money → (fewer) humans + AI now producing worse software → worse software reaching users → users having enough time to realize new software is crap → users complaining to humans → humans telling suits → suits understanding. And it's all happening while AI is getting better, or at least it's not getting worse.

Some adjustments are required depending on the type of software.

To be fair, human assistants I''ve had were e en worse and generally could not show up on time, never mind being actually knowlegeable or helpful. ChatGPT is very useful when you can't remember an Emacs key binding, but...
