Denied a teleprompter feature, he had ChatGPT build him one in 3 minutes

A Saudi creator shares a firsthand moment: needing a teleprompter for filming, he subscribed to CapCut Standard only to find the feature locked behind the 59 SAR/month Pro tier. Instead of paying more, he opened ChatGPT with a plain-language prompt ("I'm stuck, build me a teleprompter site for the iPhone camera, I can't be bothered to open my laptop") — it built the site in about 3 minutes, and saving downloads it straight to his phone.
His takeaway: there's now a third option between "buy the app or give up" — LLM coding is good enough to conjure a one-off tool for any single need.
