I don't think AI will ever be "gone". We can't put the slop genie back in the bottle. But what WILL happen, it Has to happen, is that the costs per token will skyrocket as the free money runs out. There's just no other economics way for this to happen. And then all the slop engineers are going to discover: they don't know how to code without burning a million tokens a day, and all those tokens are costing more than double their salaries. So employers are going to discover: we can just hire 3 people for the price of one slop engineer and all their tokens.
