My take is that when the bubble bursts good software will remain. Right now all the big players are hiding the cost. Anthropic (in my mind) is especially egregious at tokenmaxxing without telling you whats going on. A simple request to edit a text file launches multiple agents which takes ages, and burns tokens. All the while it calles it "Sautéeing" or whatever random verb they spew out as you wait for your answer.
