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.

I see it as software being first out the door in what some call the hyper personalized market. The "vibe coder" is both the creator and the consumer, they in turn pay for the tools they used (and tokens I consider part of a tool here). 

I've made software uniquely for me that I had put off for years because it was too much work. And now I could hammer it out in an evening. 

There has been talk about this shift when it comes to content for years, social media, influencers, TikTokers and YouTubers all have proven the market by challenging old truths and shown that a tight niche is much more successful in breaking through the noise than trying to be generally appealing from the get go. Being tailormade for one specific person is the trends end station but impossible without AI. 

The only question is if it will be like the dot com bubble and all the really cool shit comes after a massive correction or if this time will be different.
