Well the answer is because the cost of that software is lower than somebody building the other software. What happens is that all these SaaS drop in value because it is now realistic to build them internally

Why does AI make it cheaper to build internal but not cheaper for SaaS competitors to pop up? Everyone has access to the same tools.

Oh sure! My conclusion is that they will drop in value, not disappear.

Basically I expect way smaller companies popping up competing with the big ones and their offering will be priced way lower because their payroll is way smaller.

While there is no competitor, internal tools will pop up now.

It does make it cheaper, obviously. But the barrier to entry is almost zero, like panhandling. That's why it can't substitute a job.
