I don't know or if its just me but I believe that AI projects are just becoming wrappers one by one new tools pop up being similar but still get attention
Coming at this from a design perspective, ultimately, I think it’s because we’re following and repeating the same patterns we see at larger companies or trendy startups that look interesting or useful, but when when the “end product” is repeated across domains, it’s either too broad of a solution to be useful within a specific context, or it’s too narrow to be applied to multiple contexts.
AI (across the different ways we’ve defined it over time) really only enables 5 things, either individually or combined: perception, organization, inference, production, or action. If you use those enablements as starting points to ask questions about whether AI needs to be used at all in a particular context, and you can articulate WHY a system needs to sense something, and WHY it needs to act on what its sensed, then you can start to see where it can actually be useful in the context you’re building. Not everything needs to be a generator, or if it is, it doesn’t always need to be a chat interaction, etc.
Honestly, it's because the barrier to entry is getting lower and lower. This is the same as what happened to newsletters back in the day and blogs before that. Used to be hard to get in so quality was higher but then it got so easy, that anyone could do it and the market got flooded with crap. Everyone is jumping on building with AI and launching new tools they built over the weekend, most likely they will get abandoned within a couple of months if not weeks.
I see the same, and I am getting bored. I open application listing, like BetaList, ProductHunt and I see the same. A lot of people are trying to produce something, using AI, Loveble, Base 44 or any other 'no coding tool'. The hype is too big, all the complexities are hidden behind AI, and there is nothing that catches the eye.
Like the whole market is flooded with the same thing, just with different skin
Because a lot of them are built for the sole purpose of using AI for something, no matter whether that thing needs AI to begin with or (in many cases) needs to exist at all.
It's the issue most trending tech has, where the majority of people trying to make use of it are grifters desperate for a quick buck rather than those who have problems that actually need solving.
