@MPgh@mastodon.world basically: using a chatbot text window to describe the app (script, or whatever) and having the LLM literally make it for you. “Make me a MacOS weather app that animates the current weather”… and it’ll poop out exactly that. It will probably suck, but you can go back and forth using the chat interface to make changes.

@MPgh@mastodon.world Also, it could mean hacking a Hitatchi Magic Wand ;-)

@MPgh@mastodon.world it can be more complicated than that, but generally it’s getting an app pooped out by an LLM without writing any of the code yourself.
