Sudden decision? This looks completely in-line with what Apple has been doing since the launch of the iPhone.

I find the article most charitable to the idea that AI generated software is a different category than human generated software. It's merely a dev tool.

Not AI generated software -- DYNAMICALLY generated software, like at run time and ongoing. Even in-app directed by the user. This is not a thing that existed before, a degree of customizability well beyond letting the user pick a color scheme or from one of a few layouts or default start screens.

I don't know how good of an idea it would be, product-wise, to give programming level flexibility. I am reminded of greasemonkey scripts, but written in english maybe. Maybe it could be awesome. But Apple is saying "nope. Not interested in exploring this with you. BYE"

		Maybe it could, but I don't want it on my phone, and I like the fact that I have at least some confidence that an app I install isn't that.

		Thank god there is at least one major platform preventing applications from doing this. I get in a perfect world this would be great, but we live in a world where we use apps built by corporations which do not have the user's interests at heart and their apps that we begrudgingly use are treated as practically antagonistic.

		Good.
