So the price for fixing the problem is equal. Sounds like a great argument for AI.

Most good engineers are way cheaper than that. The world is bigger than the united states.

Equal sounds like a terrible argument given all the other problems with replacing engineering thought with ai. I don't know where the line is but I expect it's far beyond equal AND there needs to be a level of "this can debug effectively in production" before that makes any sense for a real business case.
