(And because there's no source material — 'good SwiftUI apps' — for LLMs to train on, they can't create any. Feels like a downward doom spiral to me)

@stroughtonsmith also because you can simply tell LLMs to add Accessibility, Dynamic Type, Dynamic Colors, etc... support to UIKit that kind of kills off one of the few arguable benefits of SwiftUI.
Hunter C. Meyer@paul @stroughtonsmith maybe you could argue that there would be less token use? I’m not a developer so correct me if I’m wrong, but in my experience UIKit is a little more verbose than SwiftUI. I don’t think it’ll matter in the long run, but who knows
@huntercmeyer @paul yes and no, I'd imagine. There are a lot of single UIKit properties that need a whole lot more work in SwiftUI to pull off, and UI is still only going to be a certain % of your codebase anyway. Would be interested to see stats though
@huntercmeyer @stroughtonsmith I have zero concept of what a token actually is when it comes to coding and don’t really care. Unless using one was free and the other was multi thousands a month it wouldn’t matter.
