Takeaways:
Relying on AI too heavily can create a knowledge gap, especially in development and security.
Open-source AI models are likely to become important infrastructure as commercial AI gets more expensive, creating new opportunities for hosting companies.
Faster performance comes from smart hardware choices, not just packing in more cores.
Security should be treated as a core foundation of modern hosting and WordPress.
Community-driven product development helps ensure tools evolve based on real user needs.
Long-term wins come from investing in quality infrastructure and optimized stacks rather than chasing short-term cost cuts.
WordPress remains well positioned for AI integration because of its maturity, flexibility, and ecosystem.
