That's why AI isn't really a tool here. You can buy a new drill. If you replace all your house builders with a house factory then you're utterly reliant on the company that makes the factory.
AI coding assistants haven’t been available for very long. If someone forgot how to write code manually already then they have bigger problems.
I don’t think the house factory analogy makes sense for multiple reasons. I subscribe to multiple LLM providers and switch between them all day. I could sign up for a dozen more to provide GLM 5.1 if I wanted to as well. I can even run lesser models locally on my machine.
This is nothing like a single factory because I can switch to a new provider in minutes with a credit card.
