I've just look out of curiosity on Appsmith, as the author endorsed this tool as some admin panel builder. I had to double check the name, as right now this is, surprise, surprise, AI powered application builder...

I used to use Replit for educational purposes, to be able to create simple programs in any language and share them with others (teachers, students). That was really useful.

Now Replit is a frontend to some AI chat that is supposed to write software for me.

Is this jumping into AI bandwagon everywhere a new trend? Is this really needed? Is this really profitable?

Just about anyone who aspires to raise capital in the current market is making themselves out to be AI. Give it a couple of years and we'll be onto the next craze. By that time I should have migrated my application off the blockchain into the metaverse.
