> If we sorted through all those new apps and ignored all the crap, I'm pretty sure we would find an overall increase in actually useful apps. I just shipped a new app myself, and I think it's useful, and I wouldn't have finished mine without AI assistance.
I don’t think this is happening, at least not on any scale that makes any of this actually useful. One off success stories do not make a revolution.
It absolutely has generated a massive amount of slop, though. The problem is that you still need intent and while I think LLMs can help you free up and push through annoying boilerplate or tedious spots where known solutions exist, you still need to design these things and that’s something I’ve not seen an LLM be too helpful with.
