You should ask yourself, why are the vibe bros obsessed with coding now? Weren't they busy trying to put artists out of work? Writers? Translators? Well, it turns out that in practically every other sector gen AI has basically become a liability. You use it hoping to save time and money, it turns into a PR disaster, you get to redo the work again, you saved nothing, you won't try again. So that's why. They're running out of options to peddle their snake oil.

@gabrielesvelto I think it also just speaks ill of the craft of coding. Most code is trash and end users are unaware of how bad it really is (they just know that everything is unreliable but not the specific why). So it's frankly easier to replace most coders. If the code is going to be shitty anyway, might as well be shitty and fast. With art, it's at least always directly scrutinized by consumers.

It's true, software quality standards have plummeted in general. As people became more familiar with devices and able to deal with jank, stuff was allowed to become jankier up to the point of tolerance.
