In this article a developer made a completely automatic game generator for Android. A terrible slot machine game with graphics pulled from an image search, generated names, sound is text-to-speech, etc... Even the application process was automated. In the end, they published 1500 apps at a rate of 15/day, the maximum allowed by the Play Store. They are now all dead, but in the meantime, they made $50k.
- joegibbs 3y agoWould this be any worse with generative AI though? You'd just be replacing the images from Google with images from Stable Diffusion. You couldn't let AI generate the code for it because you'd have to actually check that it successfully compiles.
- Sankozi 3y agoHmm this sound like a bad deal for that developer. Looks more like a performance art than business plan. The amount of work needed to automate all that stuff probably took more than a few months for only 50k income.
