AI slop spam.
I don't want to use those AI sloppers. They often are not based on any intelligent design.
A good counter example is, in my opinion, htop. Many people use it, despite its ncurses-nature. It simply does what it wants to do well: give an overview over resource usage.
Yes, AI slop can spam-generate a clone, but why would I want to use that over the real thing? It makes no sense.

I don't want this spam slop anyway, but notice that the author became super-lazy. Rather than providing source code, he tells you to copy/clone it via Claude spam. So this human is now too lazy to do anything useful. Skynet won. He has been AI slop spam absorbed, without even noticing. Just like in the movie Invasion of the body snatcher (great movie, both the original and the first remake, though I liked the remake more, because Sutherland was in his prime back then).
The author continues to show more AI slop spam created useless things. None of which is interesting. I am surprised people now blog about boring AI created software and call it engineering. So, nah, don't stop making TUIs. Instead, design them better.
Having said that, I think ncurses is the wrong tool in general. We need to be able to design both TUIs and GUIs in one go without barriers. Every time I have to use ncurses, I do indeed curse.
and it "worked" - the audience he found for this is bigger than the previous one. So this continues until the AI psychosis become so high it start to turn people off.
