AI is legitimately going to fuck up technology and the Internet. Shit like "vibe coding" is going to be devastating for software development and resources taxation on hardware.
There is no such thing as a reality where hardware improves while software remains at a static or improving level of efficiency---software and code inefficiency and slop will, rather, increase to fill the resources surplus provided by gains in hardware development. Your computer will always run hot, will always have mediocre battery life, and will always perform "average" despite gains in hardware.
