If AI Coding is So Fast, Where Are the Revolutionary Apps?
-RadThibodeaux · reddit · 2026-08-03
A user raises the question: despite powerful LLMs being widely available for almost a year and developers reporting massive speedups in coding, the consumer tech landscape hasn't seen a disruptive wave of new apps or websites. Everyday tools like social media, banking, and fitness apps remain incrementally updated.
The poster notes that aside from minor integrations like AI search, the general public doesn't feel a paradigm shift in shipped products. Furthermore, in specific verticals like law, internal AI tools suffer from severe hallucinations, failing to deliver actual productivity gains.
