There's really nothing new in this article - but it's all true.

One major difference between SaaS and bread is the number of varieties in SaaS is much more than that in bread. If you need to customize something for a specific workflow, you can now make your own software than buy something off the shelf and settle for something substandard.

>SaaS valuations are built on two key assumptions: fast customer growth and high NRR (often exceeding 100%).

They are also on the basis of high gross margins of 80-90%. What happens to margins when you start including token variable costs?

Yet, this applies for only three industries so far - coding, marketing and customer support.

I don't think applies for general human intelligence - yet.
