Get ready for a bunch of unskilled people making the shittiest apps imaginable.

And I wonder how easy it will be to get Claude to create malware with just a few prompts...

Yeah, OK. I just watched a complete novice ask ChatGPT how to go through installing node, pip, and creating a react app (of course ChatGPT being of 2021 suggested CRA). After 2 minutes, his confidence was soaring. And then he tried to run the react app and ran into an issue that required 2 days of troubleshooting for him to resolve. (When he asked me about it I told him he could have just deleted the file and moved on.)

So, yah, just let the CEO type in the code into the magic box, what could go wrong.
