buttplug.io 🍑🔌I really cannot stress enough how much of an unexpected marketing gift the term "vibe coding" has been for us.
sinister@buttplugio what the heck is vibe coding?
Patrizia@sinister @buttplugio Throwing prompts at generative AI until it does the thing you want. It's explicitly not about understanding what it does or worrying the code quality.
@patrizia @buttplugio at this rate should i even learn how to program? Its been years ive not made much progress lol
@sinister @buttplugio Only you can answer that, but I don't expect programming jobs to go away - a lot of trouble gets caused when nobody understands or cares about the code :)
Some open source projects are be plagued by users submitting AI-generated patches and security reports that are invalid, because the user didn't read, understand, or investigate what the AI spat out.

🇺🇦@patrizia @sinister @buttplugio it's been a long time since I considered myself a coder, but my feeling is that AI generated code will be acceptable for the 90% that's not edge cases. It'll have problems with the 90% of code written to deal with the edge cases.

I tried it a few times now but I never(!) got a result that was usable. Maybe it's possible to let the AI write a well-known mathematical algorithm - but everything else seems to be completely non-working nonsense.
It starts with not compilable code, continues with hallucinated libraries and enumerations and ends with agreeing to be unable to solve the given problem in a working way (or just repeating the steps again and again until the user stops).
