The way I see it, AI is a nifty tool, like a calculator. Who was disrupted by the calculator? It wasn't the peasants in the fields. It was the people with the ability to do mental sums on the fly. Such people went from having the king's ear to being parlor tricks on variety shows.

Same thing in the case of AI. We're about to see a lot of so-called 10x developers become commoditized.

How you can have the right comparison but come to the completely wrong conclusion is baffling.

10x developers won't become a commodity. 0.1x developers will.
