People have been using chatgpt so much they completely disconnected from reality.
I've seen the phrase, "Cambrian explosion" multiple times in the last week... it seems mostly to be used incorrectly.
10% of all new websites are built with Lovable. I presume it's mostly broken shovelware but still an explosion of launches.
Would actually be interesting to see if there is some product hunt or Launch HN stats that prove/disprove this
There was an article that made it the front page of HN a few weeks ago that showed that there hasn’t been an explosion of new software.
I think you mean this one:
