You could already pay Indians to make you software if you wanted poorly made software. Poorly making it with AI isn’t that big an improvement.

You go to the shed because you know the hammer has undergone extensive testing and won’t immediately be hacked, costing you hundreds of millions.

It is.

Getting poor software made by Indians is a cycle that takes months.

With AI you get the first poor version within hours. Then you can iterate. In a week of hourly iteration you'll most likely have something usable.

The Indians are still having meetings about when to have meetings and you can see from the logs they haven't accessed any of the documentation you gave them for the issue. Billing is on point though.
