I’ve watched a bunch of layman videos where they create stuff with AI, these people burning through 12 hour tasks are literally not reading the output or understanding what it’s doing. Like they’ll ask for a program, and then right after it’s been created they ask the AI how to run it. Then when there’s a bug, they ask the AI what went wrong, or scrap the entire thing and switch model/harness and try again.

Here’s an example https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xc1296HY8Fw&ra=m

It’s completely different to a professional workflow (what you described). It’s a toy for consumers

Amazingly, there are people out there (apart from creators), that work that way in their day-to-day job. I had the pleasure to work with such a person. After several months, he got removed from the position. He left a mess that hasn't been cleaned up completely to this point.

It won’t be long till employers get wise to this stuff, they just need to burned a couple of times.

It seems AI is good, great even at many things. But it doesn’t seem like it’s going to change the world as much as some people believe it will. And if it does it’s going to take time

It's more power to power-users. And more dumbness for dumbos

It's gasoline. Whether you put it in the tank of a race car or pour it all over the floor while handling lit matches is up to the user

I think hard part is that outside it takes 1-3 months to see if it’s race car. Especially in begin both things look pretty same.

At least with fire, you know when you are getting burned.

"This is fine." </sarc>

it disproportionately empowers the dumb and evil it seems. those two classes of people are supercharged by AI.

Yeesh that sounds painful. There's definitely a fine line between vibe coding as a professional engineer and vibe coding as an outsider.
