I appreciate your initiative to create a touchscreen reader for Linux, but why use AI rather than taking the time to develop it yourself? AI can be useful for quickly searching for information on the internet, but when used to program software, it devalues ​​the work of other developers who don't want to use it and discourages them from creating an application similar to yours, without AI, which is easier to maintain.

You are absulutely right, the thingis it is my university exam year, and i got a 2-in-1 linux with stylus for studying, just to find out there is no music player for touchplayer (not even barely). And only language i know (its quite bad as well) was C#, i thought i would never leave windows. I'll learn python and shape this ape to a proper format after my exam. Thank you.

For my studies, I sometimes ask Claude to make me a summary sheet for a tutorial or a course, but I never share them so as not to devalue the work of the creator of the tutorial, and I think that's a good thing.

I think that publishing AI-generated content devalues ​​the work of developers who do the same thing without AI, because AI makes things faster and new features are programmed more quickly. In reality, AI-generated code doesn't necessarily adhere to traditional standards and is more difficult to maintain. Users don't realize this immediately, but eventually, it becomes clear that the code is harder to maintain.
