Mixed feelings about this, the thing about AI slop is there's an option B where you just throw it out because you're not committed to what it had produced and not having it is even better than spending big to have it be good.
I took on a contract recently to fix up an AI-generated SaaS, I was low-key impressed with the consistency and general quality and structure, but what was missing... uploading files, platform registrations and payouts, payments, booking management, notifications, administrative tools, refunds, proof-of-service and dispute resolution, they wanted a small-scale AirBnb-like service and AI had built them a UI showing mock listings and a skeleton API. Whole project ended up in the trash when they realized how much work was left.
