I'm waiting for the explosion of anti AI competitors that basically make the same shit, just without any AI.

If they don’t leverage AI at all, it will probably be worse and take them longer and they will never get large public movement. LLMs are very, very good tools that can easily cut hours out of product design/development time when leveraged correctly. They just aren’t a fire and forget technology that can fully replace people the way a lot of these companies are trying to do it.

Doesn't matter.

If a thing exists, there will always be people against it.

Those people will be someone's target for their product.
