So as soon as all software has been written that can be written, they'll jack up the prices? After that comes to pass, I'm willing to pay them a premium on having AI write additional software.

Much sooner.

And if all software has been written that can be written what additional software do you want to write?

I'm not sure where you got this from. They'll jack up the prices at some undetermined time in the future once the weight of reality overpowers the manic hype we've been experiencing for the past few years.

My expectation is that this will start unfolding within the next 5 years and people will start looking back to today as the golden age of AI where everything was cheap, exciting, and ad-free.
