I can see that actually. I guess the post points out two things:

  1. the dev being a a bit deceitful, downplaying their use of AI when clearly the project is like 90% AI
  2. the community being frustrated by the lack of quality signals in the new world. Previously programming took a lot more effort, so just the existance of an app already meant that the dev was mildly competent. And at the very least it meant that the dev could fix and maintain the app when something broke. Now those trust signals are gone.
