I think the differentiator is whether someone cares about what they build or not. Someone who doesn't care wouldn't produce masterpieces without AI, and using AI isn't going to prevent someone who does care from building something nice.
But everyone claims they care; everyone using AI is telling you that they're not like the slop merchants, that they're really building masterpieces/the next unicorn. Just like everyone using AI to write says they're just using it as a fancier spellcheck.
It doesn't seem like AI users are very good at telling how much or how well they're using it.
