AI-built software is unreliable and unmaintained — people pay for *predictability*
Pain point
"have you tried those 'adobe clones'? most of them are garbage, super slow and honestly just hyped ai slop" (10). And the money quote: **"Maintenance. That's why we pay for software. We want software where the functionality is predictable every time… what works keeps working"** (5). This is the closest thing here to an explicit "here's what I'd pay for."
Signal
Strong — 137-upvote post, two independent comments converging, and it rhymes with the AI-slop complaints in posts 1 and 8 (three separate threads mention "AI slop").
Opportunity
(a) **Regression-guard SaaS** for AI-generated codebases: auto-generates behavioral snapshot tests from real usage, alerts when an AI edit breaks previously working behavior. Medium build. (b) Easier/faster: a productized **"AI app maintenance retainer"** — $500–2k/mo to own uptime, dependency bumps, and bug triage for solo founders' Lovable/Cursor apps. Near-zero build, sell today.
