I don't think it's helpful to call this psychosis. N Beyond that I don't think it's even irrational.

It is definitely factual that there is a complete paradigm shift in the prioritization of quality in software. It's beyond just AI side effects, and now its own stand alone thing.

There have always been many industries, companies, and products who are low on quality scale but so cheap that it makes good business sense, both for the producer and the consumer.

Definitely many companies are explicitly chosing this business strategy. Definitely also many companies that don't actually realize they are implicitly doing this.

Wether the market will accept the new software quality paradigm or not remains an open question.
