@ThristyVitus@ThirtyVirus Exactly. Slop isn't exclusive to AI. The difference is that AI makes it much easier to produce bad code at scale. That's why reviewing, testing, and understanding what you're building matters more than ever. The tool isn't the problem, blindly trusting its output is.
@ThristyVitus@ThirtyVirus Exactly! "Vibe coding" has become an umbrella term for AI-assisted development. We've gone from prompting for snippets to orchestrating entire workflows with autonomous agents. The developer's role is shifting from writing code to directing and coordinating systems.
@EPTB4@ThirtyVirus Exactly! That's what I've been trying to get at. It's not about whether AI was involved, but how much human thought, creativity, and direction went into the final result. Glad we found some common ground 🤝
@EPTB4@ThirtyVirus Exactly, that's pretty much my point. It's a spectrum, not black and white. The more creative decisions and direction you provide, the more the result reflects your own work. AI is just another tool that can make executing those ideas easier.
@EPTB4@ThirtyVirus I agree that mastering a skill has value on its own. But we're talking about engineering, not just artistic expression. If someone designs a system, makes the decisions, and ensures it works, why should using AI to implement it make their achievement less meaningful?
@EPTB4@ThirtyVirus If you just prompt AI to make a game and accept whatever it produces, I agree. But if you're designing the mechanics, directing development, testing, and refining the result, you're doing more than just providing an idea. Writing code isn't the only form of creation.
@EPTB4@ThirtyVirus I agree about Haring, but there's a difference between AI trying to recreate someone's artistic expression and someone using AI to bring their own ideas to life. The tool doesn't erase the human intent, creativity, or judgment behind the result.
@EPTB4@ThirtyVirus I agree, but I was teasing you with an analogy, not equating human relationships with engineering. My point is that using AI doesn't make an achievement less meaningful. The decisions and judgment still come from the person behind it.
