I have no problem with using AI for things it’s actually good at and generally help people do their job. There are so many things that can be done more efficiently in regards to coding with using AI and it’s very useful in that regard. That being said, AI should be used as a tool to make a coders life easier and more efficient, not replace them entirely. All these big tech companies are using AI as an excuse to replace workers when in reality they could keep all their employees and have them complete 10x the work with the same amount of effort.

The reason “vibe coding” is becoming a problem is because people that have no idea how to code are using it as a shortcut to not learn how to code at all. AI can be a really great tool for some of the more tedious and non-automated tasks coders have to use on a daily basis and discounting it entirely is just not feasible in the tech world anymore. It’s basically the upgraded version of copy and pasting code you found on the internet which a lot of coders already do.
