Damn this Tim Paul quote finishes hard and such a good point. None of the stuff around llms just work. Good ui’s, front end, back end, infrastructure, product. All these things still need to exist, and in fact for ai to be good we need to still go hard on them otherwise everything will die in a heaping pile of ai slop <https://simonwillison.net/2024/May/8/slop/>

│ What took longer was the other stuff: identifying the problem, designing and building the UI, setting up the templating, routes and data architecture.
