I am seeing more and more stories about people that don't know how to program are using AI to create software products. On a surface level, that suggests that the barrier to entry for software development is lower. But there are at least two new factors: cost of the tools and expectations in the market, which change the equation regarding what makes a product viable.

I'm curious about how the barrier to entry for creating software products has changed since the rapid proliferation of AI development tools.
