Ask HN: Can you show me some useful AI-written programs?
Looking at the software I use day to day, none of it is majority AI/LLM-written. I'm not actively going out of my way to avoid AI programs, but I haven't found any useful ones.
When I say "useful software" I'm particularly interested in something that my grandmother would recognize as software - an OS, IDE, DAW, DBMS, word processor, a 3D modeller, game engine, video editor, CAD software, spreadsheet application, compiler, browser, etc. I'm marginally less interested in colorful cat/ls rewrites.
Given that in the last 2 years there's probably been more lines of code produced than the 2 decades prior, undoubtedly a lot more software has flown under my radar than usual.
Are there some useful AI-written programs I can look at? Bonus points if they do something novel that I can't already do with a computer. I recently vibe coded an e2e encrypted file vault for myself. I use it a lot. It also has built in offline music player and read-it-later. I also have built a p2p based remote shell to manage my servers. Also works well. Many programs today are part-written by AI. The only fully AI-written program I know of is Claude Code. does a game count? I use it everyday for actual business software, but I can't share that with you.
