I've been saying "if AI is making you so productive then where is all this great new software" and I guess the answer is the software is out there it's just not great, it's terrible, and nobody is using it

@brooke@bikeshed.vibber.net @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place it's also fun when I've been working on a thing for close to 3 years now, and it's relatively close to a release, but also it's now and do i even want to release it at this period of time vs waiting until the literal shitstorm clears up

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place can confirm, same as e.g. flathub was getting fucking flooded with slop until they enacted the recent no-slop policy
and did that flood result in anything good? unsurprisingly, no, it didn't, it's all shit, nobody is using those apps and nobody is gonna maintain them once the bubble pops
edit: oh, and I'm only talking about accepted submissions here! even before the policy there was an even biigger flood of slop submissions that got rejected because they couldn't follow the most basic rules (unsurprisingly too) -

@eniko Even if it is great, how are people supposed to find among all the trash? Its made an already existing problem worse

@eniko I seriously wonder how many of those are in aid of some kind of scam.

"I was able to rapidly go from prototype to finished product using Agentic AI!"

"Steve, nobody is using your finished product."

"Well, it was a horrible idea that nobody wanted to build. So... Yeah.'

@eniko
This looks exactly like how there are a vastly increased number of ebooks available on Amazon. -
@dome @jargoggles @eniko Your problem is that it's "good enough" in your non-programmer eyes. For now.
And then you'll find yourself wondering why it 100%s your GPU in idle.
And then starts the "burning through tokens trying to add more features or fix old stuff that suddenly was overwritten during ai hiccup" dance.

@dome @jargoggles @eniko (Non-ethical) problem with vibe code is that while you might find ai useful for _producing_ code, it's not useful for _supporting_ it.
Just like ai "artist" can't fix slop because they have no idea how light works, how clothes works, and fixing ai "art" with ai just makes a new image leaving nothing from the old iteration.

@dome @jargoggles @eniko Why do you think code slop is any different from art slop? It's the same LLM technology under all this crap about productivity no one asked for.

@dome "This thing I made with AI that doesn't show up in search results is AMAZING! Trust me bro. I have years of experience in everything related to it, except it."
the flood of junk apps is so frustrating on both maintainers trying to organize a collection and the people trying to find genuinely useful apps.
