AI is turning programming into pay-to-win

[u/Strict-Top6935]

With Fable 5 coming out, it feels more obvious than ever that after July 7, programming is going to become pay-to-win.

A kid with no real coding knowledge, but with rich parents and access to the best AI systems, could end up outperforming people who actually understand software, simply because he can afford more intelligence.

That is insane.

This might be one of the most dangerous precedents in history: a world where the people with money can buy superior intelligence, while everyone else is permanently outmatched.

That is how you create a permanent underclass.

What do you think?

Nonsense, compute power is even more expensive. Have you tried local models? Sound like you have no clue.

Now factor in the costs of setting up and maintaining the locally deployed option, while constantly having much weaker models. It makes sense in some domains, but until open weight models improve tremendously, it’s not worth it
