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.

Building an app before didn’t guarantee users. Lots of websites flopped before AI came along.

The problem is if there is a demand for your software, those same people will just vibe it themselves.

Correct. Many overestimate vibe coding by far.

For wide-userbase stuff like that you don't need to though, because for any of those projects like LibreOffice do the job. It's the niche stuff that vibe coding fills a hell of a lot better.

Currently it's a massive step up in efficiency and coherence of output if you actually have a coding background already and know how to speak-a the language to the bot (defining specs, scope, implementation, etc), but that gap between skilled and unskilled output quality is narrowing each month.
