OK, but if this 12Xes devs why isn't there 12 times the crappy software there was 5 years ago? I'm not seeing a massive increase in the amount of available software. Shouldn't there be dozens of new word processors? Hundreds of new MIDI sequencers? Thousands of text editors?

If this is actually making software easier to make where is the software?

It assumes there is a need for that software. It's not because I can ship the nth clone of flappy bird in minutes that I will?

I mean, people released a billion clones of flappy bird before AI so I don't see why they would stop? The dominant mobile game genre seems to be "line up three of the same thing and get a prize which will make you want to buy a better prize in our online store"; I don't see a flood of new entrants to this space.

Do LLMs just not work for mobile development? What about native? Why is the only thing I'm actually seeing produced increasingly byzantine tooling for AI itself?
