I disagree. I think you're actually giving up so many little decisions. You are delegating decisions to agents all the time. In place of your slow but still personal decisions, you are ok with decisions that might be similar to what the LLM believes to be the best average, or the best solution based on what limited experience of the world they were trained on. The Ai devil for me is in these details.

That is probably fine for a lot of use-cases, but it's still removing your own agency from the process itself willfully, and yet still taking all of the merit. And to me that makes the final thing less of a byproduct of you and your experiences.

I am not black and white on this, and there are different degrees to the issue. But I just cannot accept this approach that trades the nature of the output for the quantity of it.

And frankly, a lot of other people feel the same. Check the data on the explosion of apps and how little they are maintained or picked up by final users.

I expect those are low quality apps churned out with minimal effort.

For the design of my app, I try to imitate the UX of Apple's first party apps.

I checked the competitors, and what is in the AppStore looks like it was built in 2015, and only updated to add Ads and subscriptions. Surprisingly, I did not even see vibe coded apps for my use case.
