Don't worry, the middle class won't have attics anymore. Their multinational conglomerate landlords will pay the people to crawl around in attics, while the former middle class subsists on some semblance of UBI, calibrated just high enough to prevent real social unrest. Everything will be fine.

I've been an android user since the Galaxy S3 days, and I've been a pixel user for the past 6 years. Two things that are about to make me give up on android: shitty bluetooth compatibility (I've never been in a car that didn't have issues connecting to android phones - factory and aftermarket car stereos included) and messages. I don't think there's any hope that android will ever have messaging that is good enough to share media with my iphone-using friends (and probably 95% of my friends use iphones). Not to mention the way group messages are hit-or-miss - sometimes messages (usually with photos) get sent to only some members of the group. And of course, you can't correct typos, so you're using an asterisk like a caveman.

Other than that, I love the quality of the phones. I love the reasonable price point of pixel A phones. I love the fact that I can install my own software, some of which I have written (of course, it sounds like that might be going away soon).

I'm super close to switching. If iphones weren't so ridiculously expensive, I might think about it. But I'm a cheap bastard when it comes to tech. I buy cheap and run it into the ground.

I agree about AI generated code requiring competent review. I disagree that in the hands of a competent reviewer, AI generated code is slower. It's incredibly fast to build out a well-speced function.

And reviewing one function should be pretty easy for a skilled coder. Especially if you wrote the specs.

So I would never unleash an AI to build an entire application from top to bottom (although I've heard of some promising techniques that involve generating requirement documents, running them through multiple AIs, refining those, and then turning over the fully fleshed out specifications to an AI for generation; I'm still skeptical on this, and need to see it to believe it).

But if I can spec out one function at a time and have AI generate each one in seconds with a minute or two of review by me, I will do that over and over again all day long.
