> Are we in a shortage of average software?

Yes. The "true" average software quality is far, far lower than the average person perceives it to be. ChatGPT and other LLM tools have contributed massively to lowering average software quality.

I don’t understand how your three sentences mesh with each other. In any case, making the development of average software more efficient doesn’t by itself change anything about its quality. You just get more of it faster. I do agree that average software quality isn’t great, though I wouldn’t attribute it to LLMs (yet).
