Have you noticed that some % of devs are totally sold on AI, and others less so? I use it all the time, and I'd say my use is declining now after a fair bit of disillusionment.
It's not hard to imagine a world in which:
* Companies realize they're spending too much on AI, and cut back
* AI companies start raising prices
* Companies cut back on AI usage even more to compensate for the higher prices
* Some individual users use less AI, while others continue to increase their usage
The projected figures rely on EVERYTHING continuing to go up, which it doesn't seem to be.
