I hope and believe that some great companies and teams will use LLMs to build higher quality software.
We built Electron because writing UIs using native desktop frameworks is tough. Is it still tough? Surely LLMs make it easier to use and so we will end up with faster and more native feeling applications.
What about having a couple of ideas of what might make a feature feel good? Well now you can make multiple prototypes fast and pick the best one. Your users get the best one.
Idk, OpenAI themselves released some weird Electron app to replace their native version of ChatGPT on mac <a href="https://www.siliconreport.com/openais-chatgpt-mac-update-shifts-to-electron-drawing-criticism-for-degraded-interface-08b8c6c355ee45ba" rel="nofollow">https://www.siliconreport.com/openais-chatgpt-mac-update-shi...
That was such a weird move for them to make. If you have AIs that are good at building software, then use them to build great software! Instead they choose lowest-common denominator solutions that are okay everywhere but not great anywhere.

I hope to build software this way in the future.
