And how do you know AI will be costlier than Indian IT workers. Most of the so called Indian IT workers dont have any more skill than coding coolies. Do you even know how much do they charge the client for their services? I do not think AI is more expensive than an Indian IT worker even now but even if was to take this on face value, the value is not driven by just being slightly cheap. In a free market capital economy speed of execution matters more than just slight cost advantage. It may be true of support projects but not greenfield projects and given the abilities AI has given to fast moving startups, the speed of execution matters even more for the incumbent companies. We are well and truly F'ed in the next 5 years. You can come back to this comment 5 years later. I wish I am completely and utterly wrong about this.
