I may be out of the loop, but I have seen very little apps with new AI tech get any traction. Or, I've seen them, tried for a few minutes, and then went on with my day. Most of these are just flash in a pan; a cool tech demo or some initial hype from an over-promising landing page, but not many viable businesses. Just someone downloading a model, fine-tuning it on some dataset and trying to pawn it off.

And if some project "narrowly shipped before you", how much value or moat is there really if we're talking multiple projects and they're so quick&easy to do? Sorry to be a bit harsh, I just don't get feeling deflated by others making the same MVP as you do if it's just a natural idea on top of some existing tech. Your focus on code quality is also moot, it's delivering value that counts, not the tech stack beneath.
