   I... don't know how I feel about this. I mean, the concept, sure, good idea. Is it reliable? Perhaps. But... I get a "buy merch" popup the moment I open the page, and there seems to be a pro option for what seems to be a very much LLM-aided app? ...IDK, rubs off a bit wrong IMO. Just my personal opinion.

      so what if it is "very much LLM-aided app"?

      We are going to have the organic label soon on apps with this mindset..AI assisted development is evolving by the day and at the rate most apps will be built that way..

         I'd love a label like that which tells me when an app has had thought put into it

            You can put a lot of thoughts while using LLMs.

            You are equating manual coding with more thinking, which has proven to be not the case given that it is mostly automated.

               It's possible to code thoughtfully with LLMs, but the process strongly encourages superficial signing-off on its activities.

                  It did make it easier to generate thoughtless apps, I agree.

                  But this process is new, and not every AI assisted app is thoughtless. In fact, I'd argue that if a person put more thoughts and amplify their abilities with AI assisted coding, then the total sum of mental labour exceed that of any manually coded app by huge margins.

                  I'm not sure about this particular app, haven't looked into it. But I was merely commenting about the mindset of the parent comment.
