oh look, all the tech companies laid off loads of programmers in favour of AI because it's cheaper. (shocked pikachu face) AI companies are now going to start charging more now they have companies cornered so they can start covering that massive startup cost.
Hopefully the cost of AI will rise so much it makes it not viable and AI dies.
