The GP explicitly mentioned "end product is not selling software". But even then, bugfixes introducing new bugs are not unheard of before. Most code used to be mediocre quality so there's not a sea of change with AI. Perhaps it even becomes better on average.
Another thing though is selling software in the first place will soon become tough proposition outside of a few niches.

I am suprised to hear people so naive they expect their token usage to stay flat if code quality and maintainability starts falling exponentially?
There's no reason to think that quality and maintainability will start falling exponentially. On the contrary, these models get better every couple months, and 99% of software isn't actually that complicated. There's just no reason for the fear-mongering that fixing 2 bugs will cause the LLM to add 50 new ones.

Except that i witness it create new bugs while fixing existing ones?
Not 50:1 but it does happen

What if to fix 2 bugs your LLM starts adding 50 new ones? Will you tell your customers in supports channel "sorry software is finished, if we try fixing anything, everything else might break, not worth it". Or "we can probably fix it, but our AI usage will raise so much we need to up the subscription 3 fold, you choose".
The speed at which LLM codes is only comparable to the speed at which they add garbage to your repo. If you stop caring about maintainability, you also stops caring about your AI/LLM related bills and the viability of your project past the PoC stage.
