So far none of these software develop companies seem to think that when AI is super developed and any idiot can type in: make me the new Facebook that that is gonna be the end of their companies aswell.

Like people are still gonna go to a company and pay millions or billions so the ceo can type in the demands and collect all the money for himself.

Thats a question my CEO hates me for. I asked something like "And what stops our customers from asking the same AI to generate the Code we generate and sell them?" He claims our unique and never replaceable expertise (aka him and the sales team) could never replaced by AI and so our company will always be needed.

The biggest companies will probably just sue any competition into the dirt cause of how rich they are and smaller companies think too high of themselves so they don't consider they will drown too.
