Each psychotic vibecoder making 50 slop projects on an account. Also probably counting demo projects. Idk, if I had to bet against any company it would be lovable.

But they have tons of VC money so they'll get aquired by someone in the incestuous circle of SV investors.

non-tech founders, small businesses, non-tech freelancers, everyone on budget who cannot afford hiring a dev and a designer and who wants something fancier than classic CMS.

Those people can very easily make a website all on their own using the latest models. It will be cheaper and higher quality.

Yes you will need SOME technical knowledge. But people are just lazy. Everyone can learn this stuff. Just ask any anthropic model how to deploy a website, it’ll tell you.

It is wrong to blame non-professionals for the failures of professionals. No, technical knowledge must not be required. No, people are not lazy, they just do not know where to start and may have incorrect assumptions about that. As a consequence, they may write a wrong initial prompt and end up with the same solution that Lovable offers or even worse, despite using the best in class model. This situation is not specific to Lovable or AI in general, it was always like that with end users and always the solution was to help them, not to demand from them to adapt.
