All of these SaaS products are also clones of things people have already made. If it was helping newcomers create novel things from great imaginations and curiosity, I’d be really excited about this. Instead I saw a reminder app, a todo app, a combination of these, and a voice transcription app.

All of these have existed in huge numbers for a decade or close to it. This isn’t interesting. It wouldn’t have taken much to do this without AI if these people found motivation through some other means. Nothing notable is happening yet.

That doesn't always matter though; I saw some guy on reddit selling 1000s of subs of a server uptime page they generated with an LLM (Cursor I think it was). Most do it for the money and that is working IF you have the following somewhere.
