In the late 2000s i remember that "nobody is willing to pay for things on the Internet" was a common trope. I think it'll culturally take a while before businesses and people understand what they are willing to pay for. For example if you are a large business and you pay xxxxx-xxxxxx per year per developer, but are only willing to pay xxx per year in AI tooling, something's out of proportion.

One is the time of a human (irreplaceable) and the other is a tool for some human to use, seems proportional to me.

Everyone is replaceable. Software devs aren't special.

Late 1990s maybe. Not late 2000s.
