The uncomfortable truth is that the marginal cost of producing software (if one doesn't care too much about quality or predictability) has now become near zero with AI; and therefore we will see many companies products being challenged in this way. Of course, Anthropic will have a leg up in terms of subsidized models provided along with a subscription, etc.

Hell of a caveat. I'd also add "complex functionality" to that list.
