It is easier for the frontend developer to look only to the status code of the response and pop up a paywall or something, rather than some message in the boby. The same goes for 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden, etc.
I am skeptical with what people is calling 'AI' this days.
I was expecting to see the generated code before subscription, there is a lot of sass that clain they have AI, but is only a bunch of if's and people 'helping the code'
I see your point. And I also understand your skepticism. You're not the first and don't expect you to be the last :)
Trying to sum why we are calling AI to our product:
- Our model learned the website's components visually (e.g. what is a navbar, an input, a button, etc)
- The AI outputs the UI elements' coordinates
- Without the output from our deep learning model we aren't able to automate the whole process
Regarding examples of the generated code, as said previously, it's definitely on our top priorities.

This is wrong. There is no "now." Kernel extensions have been installable in macOS since 10.0, IIRC. The real "issue" here is that Apple has provided a mechanism for installing Kernel extensions into a protected bucket, but no way to uninstall them.
The fact that this whole thing isn't very well (or at all) documented even for developers (the ones writing the kernel extensions), seems like it's not the most ideal of situations.
Apple in general has always been a bit further in this direction, but it seems companies are increasingly leaning towards security over freedom, which is perhaps even more scary than insecurity itself. It's a hard position for a company to be in, but I suppose it comes from the fact that it seems receiving negative PR about being insecure is worse than PR about being unfree.
As a memorable saying goes: "The security people won't be satisified until everyone is living in prison."
