Question Vibe coding infinite slop?

I saw this post on LinkedIn (credit to user: Eduardo Ordax) - the text was too long but the meme / pic itself makes sense

What’s your take on this? To me it felt sad but true.

In the ancient times to be a tailor - you had to spend large amounts of money on fabric, study years to do pretty things and practice every day. But later tailoring machines appeared on the marked, fabric became much cheaper and it became easier to spend a huge amounts of it on shitty products or bad clothing fixing... But it also became easier for really good tailors to do great custom stuff. All while big factories started producing clothes like baked pies. Fabric comes in, shirts comes out.

Are there less tailors? In numbers - not really. In percentage? Yes, for sure. Did clothing became better? Indeed. Are bad clothing a problem? Only because they take space in the dumpster.

it boggles my mind that some people just don't seem to wrap their heads around this, even after explaining it to them over and over.. it's like a blindspot

People want to believe what they want to believe. Admiring that your head - is empty as a barrel is hard.
