I don't understand this position.

LLMs are good at prototyping using data across _all_ similar projects that exist.

It is not a 1-1 copy.

Most frontend is a dozen components. Most backend again is a handful of architectures when it comes to DB/business logic, CRUD.

It goes to say that if you can guide the LLM to build something innovative you can think of, it will put those components together in a reasonable way - good enough to start off with.

Exactly. One could build the new video platform with revolutionary customer facing features. The tech stack will likely be the same. Some frontend, some backend maybe some calls to an endpoint that happens to be an LLM.

Startups that typically end up in incubators etc are not about new fundamental systems (languages, frameworks, theoretical methodologies etc), but rather about new products.
