But I think the important part of this is the reach that the Industrial Revolution had. Consumer facing software, or the endusers who were able to "benefit" from the Industrial Revolution, and individual needs for all of these mass produced goods.
The important thing is that goods =/= software. I, as an end user, of software rarely need specialized software. I dont need an entire app generated on the spot to split the bill and remember the difference if I have the calculator.
So, yes, we are industrializing software, but this reach that people talk about (I believe) will be severely limited.
I think I super important aspect that people are overlooking, is that every VC wants to invest in the next "big" AI company, and the probability is in your favor to only give funding to AI companies, bc any one of them could be the next big thing. I think, with a downturn of VC investment, we will see some more investment in companies that arent AI native, but use AI as a tool in the toolbox to deliver insights.

Why is the native picture (fig 1) in grayscale? or more generally why is black and white the default of signal processing? Is it just because black and white are two opposites that can be easily discerned?
Btw for those wondering about reposts: reposts on HN are just fine after a year or so (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html), and reposts of classics every now and then are good because it's important for new users to learn the classics!
