For all those AI peeps saying "apps are dead because AI can make them for you on the spot!" Or the like: Work at an Apple Store the day after a new version of iOS comes out and moves a button in an app and see how well the non-technical crowd handles it.

Apps provided a consistent UI and workflow for businesses, users, and more. Inconsistent or ephemeral UI is dead as a concept for these reasons. I do think the danger of app cloning is getting higher every day, especially since we are seeing apps and games get cloned faster and faster.

With that said I don't know the solution but the truth is somewhere in the middle ground I think. Modular UI that can adapt (charts, simple toggles, maps, lists, etc) but full UI experiences that are consistent for more focused work/use cases.
