    If an "AI" company can sell you access to software that will replace a $250k/year software engineer. They're going to charge $249k/year for it.

    That's how capitalism works.

    Well, they're going to charge $20k/year at first, during the land rush phase. Wait for some competitors to die off. Keep it low a while longer to kill off the incumbents. Then it'll jump up a bunch, before finally being even more expensive than the original thing.

    @preinheimer don't forget that the quality of the "service" will decrease whilst the cost increase.
