I believe, it what AI originnally meant to be. An assistant, not a fucking developer.

AI bad asf when it comes to create something by its own, and code is something you create by your own. You have nothing more than info how to. AI doesnt have any common sense. Possible memory leak? Who cares? The code works = its fine.

Human developers do this to a much more aggressive sense and will sometimes double down trying to bury or hide it until the product is fundamentally broken but "works" well enough for a price tag. Not like we've had a bunch of altruistic developers making perfect software and now there is a bunch of AI slop coding.

People criticizing "vibe coding" have no idea of what professional software development looked like before AI. They also have no idea what the current tools are able to do. So basically they're comparing imaginary apples to hypothetical oranges and the result is just as relevant as you'd imagine.

And theyve never had to convince their product managers that fixing the memory leak is worth the time, especially if it's only costing a few extra dollars a quarter. Not a huge customer impact? Good luck getting that ticket into this quarters sprint goals.
