Ah, but the keyboard manipulation is direct, at least.

Yes, because I directly typed on that keyboard. My fingers pressed each and every key to make each and every letter of this text you're reading. The keyboard is a tool to interface with a computer, in the same way you need a hammer to push a nail, a screwdriver to drive a screw, or a knife cuts through things. I didn't ask somebody else to go hammer the nail, screw the screw, or cut the thing then take credit for doing the thing I didn't do. Managing a process isn't the same as doing the process, and in the same way, prompting an AI to make code for you isn't the same as actually making that code, and never will be. Edit: I should say I don't actually have anything against Vibe-coding itself, apart from the environmental implications of AI, and for personal projects I imagine it's probably quite useful. What grinds my gears is when people say "they" coded something, knowing full well they didn't write a single line of code. It's like Vibe-artists saying they "drew" something DALI made. Its fine to do it, but just admit that's what you did, rather than trying to take credit for a thing you didn't do.
