People are conjuring up all kinds of apps slapped together by LLMs and actually have the gal to ask money for them?!

So now we use AI for coding we can't sell any apps anymore?

Like this guy pushed a button and everything just happened?

What does it matter if it's mostly coded by an LLM. If someone skilled guided an LLM to build an app that does something meaningful and useful why shouldn't they be able to sell it or accept donations?

If there's no real skill involved and anyone could've built it then it's essentially worthless. Save for the cost of the tokens used perhaps.

		I mean—I can think of a whole lot of people whose jobs I could do, but who I’m happy to pay a little to avoid having to deal with it myself. It doesn’t take particularly sophisticated skill to load up your garbage and drive it to the landfill—and, frankly, it’s kind of fun every once in a while—but I certainly wouldn’t call municipal trash service worthless… I’m reminded of that old saw about contemporary art: “That?! I could have done that!” / “Yeah, but you didn’t…”
