So is the premise here that making more software is going to have a deflationary effect on the entire economy of material goods? If so then that's obviously nonsensical.
That's not what I said, no. More software is going to have a deflationary effect on software, which is part of the "goods" economy if it's sold in a box, or even (I think) if it's sold as a download. If it's just online, it's probably considered a service. Either way, more of it, more cheaply produced, decreases the value of each piece.
I haven't paid for any software in a long time & my monthly subscriptions for data storage & basic AI adds up to less than $100/month. Data storage is already as cheap as it could possibly get so AI is not going to make that any cheaper. More money in the economy is not going to have a deflationary effect, prices for everything will go up, including software services like data backups b/c cost of the service has nothing to do w/ software & the hardware is only going to get more expensive.
