try making something without AI too, it will be valuable

AI will be required to maintain the piles of tech crap we've built and that society now stands on. New generations are no longer as tech savvy, pushed toward being simple users and consumers. The rare individuals that develop curiosity for how things work have their work cutout and will need all the tools they can get to dig their way through layers of undocumented, organically grown software and hardware cruft left by "engineers" of lore.

Where do you think AI got its training material? Was it not from those very same "engineers of lore" and their respective "tech crap"?
