Don't worry. This will create the demand for even more powerful models that are able to untangle the mess created by previous models.

Once we realize the kind of mess _those_ models created, well, we'll need even more capable models.

It's a variation on the theme of Kernighan insight about the more "clever" you are while coding the harder it will be to debug.

EDIT: Simplicity is a way out but it's hard under normal circumstances, now with this kind of pressure to ship fast because the colleague with the AI chimp can outperform you, aiming at simplicity will require some widespread understanding
