Ok, I get that on one hand, we need to get used to vibe coding as it's here, but also like, forcing that view on those skeptical or very rational about the limits of vibe coding vs where human logic and creativity, ingenuity come in will not get you anywhere but toward a place of more hatred and condemnation. Remember that just because "vibe coding is here to stay" doesn't mean everyone has to accept or be OK with it either in their projects or their lives, and that's OK. We humans should be able to respect that view and not have to force infinite vibe-coded projects on them out of rath or because you can. Especially if 3-quarters of them don't work as expected. Not directed at anyone by the way, just seeing this from many sides in the community as of late.
And yes, it does go the other way too: No big meteorite is coming for Earth just to wipe out AI. That's doom-talking nonsense. So while AI vibe coding is here to stay, the choice to actively not use or subscribe to things that pump out more Vibe coded things is also well justified and I think a human right to choose.

@Tamasg@mindly.social Calling it vibe coding is like calling your use of spellcheck or autocorrect vibe editing. You do still need to know what you're doing with the tool, or yeah, what's gonna come out is slop. If you say "write me a program that does X", you will absolutely get a program that does X. But you will be leaving all of the decisionmaking re: what that program looks like up to the AI. Would you leave all the decisionmaking of what word to use up to autocorrect? Then don't do that with AI. Sadly, far too many people will let autocorrect make the final decision. And those are the people producing AI slop.
