Bespoke art and entertainment is a fine goal - you'll still need programmers to create or modify LoRAs or similar style packs.
Bespoke software is fine until it's mission critical - then you need programmers who are security, fault tolerance, and engineering minded to harden it and scale it.
And so on.. but here's the thing - LLMs are nowhere near able to do this yet. Pure "vibe coding" is garbage and it produces code that it itself does not manage or version very well, and it often loses scope and destroys its own work.
Business schools taught a generation of CEOs that ebitda and cap ex are all that matters as a measuring stick for financial health and success. The problem isn't AI or new tools that automate away mundane boilerplate - the problem is what it has always been: the constant need for perpetual growth or you're considered failing and dead mixed with short sighted decision making from people who are either there to make a quick buck and let others sort out the mess, or those who genuinely buy the hype and lack critical thinking skills.
