How are any of the produced "apps" actually useful and not just buggy copies of better things that exist?
Am I missing something or is this just for generic, low tech "I need a website" use cases?
We already have tons of prebuilt websites available to slot someone's shitty home business into too. AI slop is just a worse version of the things we already had.
I did use AI for my first project to automate my coworkers job. But that was me learning how to set these things up with C#. I did the coding. ChatGpt told me if it was possible or not and how. Something someone with knowledge could make in a week I build in 3 months and refined into a very usable app.
But I didn't just let the AI do the thinking of what I should have the app do.
Edit: we did replace that guy with a person. But in the mean time that software I wrote helped my non technical boss work with us in the meantime. It does have its merrits.
