Shipping like crazy isn't useful by itself. Shipping non-garbage and being able to maintain it still has some value.

Would you say cloning a complex saas startup in a week with payments integrated after letting AI just scrape them (or uploading screenshots of their app) is creating value?
Before you sold it to anyone it will only create bills. Development is such a minuscule part of a successful startup
On vercel its free to deploy a complex app almost.
free cheese is only in a mousetrap ;)
Depends on how many security vulnerabilities are in that payments system.

Or, I suppose, depending on whose value. The consultants that'll have to be hired by the poor shmuck who paid for that will make a fortune auditing and cleaning up the code.

None because 1) this is pretty standard stuff with stripe 2) the good developer can go through the code and fix them in a few hours if there were any
AI will quite readily write bad quality code with security vulnerabilities even for bog standard stuff (like say SQL injections).

And sure, a good developer can fix it if they will see it. But they won't when running on that kind of schedule.

Not without more information.
