I think what they’re missing is that it becomes trivial to build software. If there is a license fee, someone will just have AI generate a version of that software that does not require a license. Software companies have no moat anymore.

I think you vastly overestimate the capabilities of these things, and vastly under estimate the complexity of a lot of different software.

What might actually happen is AI will become clever enough to migrate everyone's business to exisitng open source software solutions. People are super excited to enjoy barf slop remixes of shards of exisitng open source programs. If the AI gets smarter, it could start obtaining entire ***intact*** copies of those same programs. And **for free**. It'll be life changing for some small businesses. It will be life changing for Microsoft and Amazon as well, but for different reasons.
