In the talk, Eric suggests that very soon you could use AI to automatically generate TikTok clones and publish them repeatedly to the App Store until one of them takes off.
Even if we assume this is possible soon, is there any way that this doesn’t result in the App Store immediately devolving in to auto generated slop and all users leaving the platform or just ignoring it. In what scenario does an app that was generated automatically in seconds result in you becoming the next mega tech company raking in huge profits.
Anything dependent on "user generated content" has a capture factor.
It doesn't matter if all the apps are slop, people will follow established creators, and new creators will follow an established audience.
I suspect the clones of something existing have no real chance of success without some sort of external marketing hook; better revenue sharing or similar. The rest will be ignored like every other current low effort app.

I'd argue it's already devolved into human generated slop which provides no functionality without taking on a $10+ month subscription and people already are ignoring it.
Try it yourself, think of something a small app would be good for that task and try to find an app that you're satisfied with and is worth the money it's asking you to use it. You wont be able to.
