Honestly, I don't care if other people are creating similar things to what I am. Actually, I prefer if there are more people working on the same things because it means there are other people that I can talk to about those things and collaborate with. Even if I don't want to work with others on a project I'm not discouraged by other implementations existing, there's always something that I would want to do differently from what's out there. That's the whole point of building my own things after all; if I were happy with using whatever bog standard app I could find on the web then why would I need to build it? It isn't just about making it my own either, it's also about the fun of diving into the guts of a system and seeing how things work, having a machine capable of producing that code gives me the fantastic ability to choose only the parts I'm interested in to do a deep dive on while skipping the boring stuff I've done 1000x times before and I don't have to type the code if I don't want to, I can just talk to the computer about the implementation details and explore various options with it. That in itself is worth the time spent on it but the awesome side effect is you get a new toy to play with too.
