Users are skeptical about the developer’s story.
On the previous HN posts I got this impression: The developer’s astrology app containing tarot reading features was rejected from Apple’s App Store that prohibits astrology apps.
Others question the developer’s use of AI.
Yeah, the big bad AI made you plagiarize a whole project down to the name, and lie to everyone about the review process. Not buying any of it.
The incident has raised questions about AI’s role in app development.
Conclusion
The Dark Hours app controversy has sparked a heated debate about the use of AI in app development and the ethics of plagiarism.
