Separate community for AI coding? (programming.dev)

I've been thinking, would it be worth creating a separate community for AI coding related articles and discussion? I know there is !Aii@programming.dev, however AI coding has a lot of overlap with !programming@programming.dev.

I know some people have expressed they aren't interesting in reading these articles, so a separate community would make it easier for them to filter them out. Rather than simply vote them down as they aren't interested in the topic.

Or is it better to have broad communities in Lemmy given the current number of users?

I still have my reservations, but I've changed my mind about "vibe coding".

Juniors vibe coding? Awful idea. It stunts learning. Non-programmers vibe coding? Aside from small scripts, anything exposed to the internet is a dangerous thing.

Experienced programmers who already know what they're doing? Code assistants can be a bliss for tired fingers and wrists.
