What's bad about AI:

- Vendors get to know everything about you

- Chips are becoming more politicized; I fear artificial scarcity as with housing will be put on chips, driving up prices.

- It causes a lot of centralisation. No, I cannot run deepseek at home. I don´t have 100.000+ USD laying around. 1TB of VRAM is not chump change.

- It can be a threat to the flourishing of open source. There is no longer a reason for me to work with other devs to build something in public together. I just have the LLM write what I need. It isolates.

These are the only drawbacks. Eveything else is clearly the artisans' ego getting in the way. That being said, if a piece of code is critical infra onto which many other things hinge, I will still hand code it.

EDIT: I think software will centralize heavily eventually; all the individual software devs we have now, and all the little custom shops, will all coalesce into a few megacorps per state. Clothing used to be made by famillies (micro scale), for the village, not produced centrally. It's not unthinkable the same will happen with software. The vendors have unprecedented access to all software being made; not just the code, but all the reasoning and iteration behind it. Plus, they can use their own model for development, allowing them to undercut any software house they want. The software world will be completelty unrecognizable in about two decades, I estimate.
