By Genie specifically? Or by generative AI in general?

If you mean world models like Genie,I don't know. If you mean the latter, I have definitely used software that I have enjoyed that I do not believe would have been possible without generative AI.

Fluxer is the first Discord competitor that when you show to someone they can't say "well Discord does X better", and it was largely made using AI.

Herdr is designed for AI usage, but I actually really like it even for just normal terminal multiplexing. It was surely made with a lot of AI.

I have seen people make incredible things at my work that have actually solved multi-year long pain points that we've never had the resources to address before.

I have used AI to patch and revive a bunch of small services like chat bots or web services and such that I had made and had decayed into failure over the years.

Sure, it's easy to point at people using AI as a megaphone for their lack of care. But I don't think it's impossibly hard to find people doing good things with it either.
