Gen AI found the biz model.

step 1: subsidize code generation so everyone forgets how to read/write code manually

step 2: many shops fire software dev and IT folks who know how to write code to save money

step 3: now charge 10x to 50x to ensure the AI generated code by that most humans largely can't understand actually works and cause outages

step 4: announce new code fix service that even cost more to fix AI mess

this is like donuts & weight loss/dietitian biz working out of same office

This image meme shows the ironic stuff of two businesses sharing the same building while offering Geni AI service biz model. The same building has two business:

01. a Dunkin storefront at ground floor, selling h high sugar donuts and sweetened coffee/tea etc which is labelled with the text "Claude Max".
02. a sugar.fit Diabetes Reversal Center, a medical unit dedicated to managing or reversing the very condition often linked to high-sugar diets caused by eating donuts and bad food which is labelled with the text "Claude Code Review".

the meme suggest how they broke original software dev model where Claude Max lead to "sugary" or messy code results at cheaper rates by firing devs and the other is Claude Code Review service from same company charging 10/15x to clean up the mess made by AI and restore health to the codebase.
