For tiny apps, sure. Some people are making larger projects that take weeks or months even with AI, that they never could have done otherwise.

How would you address user requests? Tailor-make a custom app for every user?

Strongly disagree. You think you’d be able to prompt your way through creating an app with even half the feature set of Microsoft word, for example? I would be very time consuming to be able to think through how the app should work for many use cases you care about or didn’t think about. This time isn’t free. Now consider having to do this iteration across many apps you depend on. And, count on introducing regressions when your next prompt is incompatible with existing features. If you are not retired, this is a huge ongoing time sync.
