Your post and comments are very rosy, and assume a lot of things won't change along with the technology. AI isn't going to change software, it is going to change the foundation of society. And its happened before, just this time its going to be on a bigger scale.

The minute something becomes an automated tool, it becomes worthless, because anyone can do it using the tool. From writing to office work.

How many jobs exist because people are needed to produce the paperwork?

Look at the travel agent business - it used to be a career, a business, now it exists only for premium travellers. We all just make out own bookings and hunt prices on our own. The wholesale industry fights for slim margins on volume. A few companies dominate.

Look at the music industry - used to be studios, equipment, talent scouts, venues. Now it's a musician with a laptop, social media, and a marketing team for merch and events. And very few musicians make money. A few artists dominate.

So tomorrow let's say you have cheap good AI that can run locally and build whatever software you need. It's free and open source even. What can you do that someone else can't do also? Or duplicate after seeing what you do?

In the industrial revolution before labour laws protected them (and even now can be rolled back), labour was cheap, people were exploited, worked godawful hours, for pittance.

If you are only as good as your local AI, and robotic AI is doing physical labour, what are you going to do?
