A.I. potentially breathing new life into every personal Graveyard of Half-Assed False Starts.

What's not to like ?

All of that stuff meant something to someone though. They put real time and effort into those creations.

Isn't that how it is supposed to be?

The lower the friction, the lower the signal:noise ratio.

It doesn't matter if 1 out of every 100k slop projects is actually a humdinger, how on earth will you ever find it?

The value of a project is the commitment to to it by people. Slop projects indicates a commitment in the low to none range.

So, yeah, that AI-booster who "created" (I use that word loosely) 7x Adobe replacements in a week (none of which actually work, but he'll get there eventually, I supposed) will successfully edge out the person who carefully and thoughtfully created a Photoshop replacement over six months of user feedback.

TBH, the only way to start a software business now is in stealth mode.
