there is a difference between using it a tool and claiming that it will replace human programming

Yeah the difference is about 6 months of model releases.

Seriously, you would have been totally correct 6 months ago (or if you are still using models from 6 months ago). Now... not so much.

Remember when we all laughed when Anthropic tried to vibe code a C compiler and it was laughably broken? Yeah now they can vibe code an entire OS.

(They should really run that C compiler test again just to show how much progress they've made.)

    Again, you have dodged all my other points. Plus, using it as a tool (checking for bugs, running tests, that sort of stuff) and telling your staff to only vibe code software is bad!

    And it's still not working, the Linux client for Epic Games failed spectacularly with lots of issues. The recent vibe coded replicas of Photoshop and friends have lots of bugs and crashes too (morally grey area in my book due to Adobe being an awful company, less people paying their exorbitant subscriptions is always better, but undeniably the "clones" are broken)
