Question: Someone made an app that brings back Winamp style. AI may have helped, but that does not matter. Are you happy to see Winamp style APPS after all these years? I think it is fun and hope you do too. x.com/alexkehr/status/212099026348...

Mostly indifferent, but I've always looked at making software as being an art, and I've come to the conclusion that making art is interesting because of the human involved, and the effects the making of it has on them. And use of LLMs in making software reduces the human element on both counts, and thus is quite a bit less interesting.

After your words, i looked again. I can better tell what is a gimmick. I feel less interested in the AI work in the link you shared earlier. Lately i have been torn between the fun of AI and the discomfort of AI slop. Your thoughts got me thinking about this on a deeper level.
