Dear ImGui Creator ocornut: AI Empowers Mediocre Makers to Produce More Mediocrity, Faster
rms80 · x · 2026-11-12
Dear ImGui creator ocornut, drawing on his experience across various communities, observes that people who used to make mediocre stuff before AI are now empowered to make more mediocre stuff faster. Conversely, people who used to make great content can only make slightly greater things now — when applying the same care. The takeaway: AI amplifies output volume far more than it raises the quality ceiling.
