I think proprietary software will move into cloud. For example, a photo editor will keep processing algorithms on the server and client will be just caching the results and displaying them.

If you make a program with a simple logic, anyone can vibe-copy it in a day. You cannot sell it.

If you make a program with advanced algorithms and complicated math, anyone can clean-room reverse-engineer it (by 2 different AIs) and vibe-copy. Furthermore, reverse-engineered data, such as algorithms and secrets, will be embedded into weights of a next LLM version.

Yes cloud won't work when you have unstable Internet due to certain events, but having a program sometimes not working is better than having a program anyone can copy. Am I wrong?

Also, vibe-copy is a made up word.
