Can we expect SW companies bankrupting themselves by using AI?

Assuming that the zeitgeist is to rack up token bills as if you're paid to use them rather than the other way around, do layoffs, rinse, repeat, can we expect to start seeing SW companies run out of money and go out of business soon?

If a SW company wanted to wean itself off chatbot coding, would it even be possible?

Would its employees resist? Can they even revert their skills to pre-chatbot coding?

Would their stock take a hit because the move would seem bad?

If it's not a traded company, would their investors object?

If bankruptcies are coming, how many of them would it take for anyone to notice the pattern?

Will banks, investors and creditors try to keep this from happening by pumping more money and debt into hopeless companies to keep them in business because the alternative is a risk of chain-reaction that could trigger a wide-spread collapse?

Hacks s05e06 has nice segments shitting on LLMs and Data Centers

Although, It does mess up by depicting a guy who trains LLMs as someone who still has money to invest in anything ;)

Also, they don't fully acknowledge that LLM output is generally shitty. Still, points for placing these guys as the villain.
