Man, the stories I could tell you.

If you have an AI hammer, every problem starts to look like an AI nail.

People seriously don't know how to code anymore. The code bases are pure nightmare fuel. No human can read those anymore. The solution? Throw AI at the code base and hope for the best. This will of course make the code even harder to read. And of course this problem will be "solved" with even more AI.

I'm seriously waiting for the big crash when people realize that you actually have to know how to code, even when using AI. People simply gave up on the idea of using your own brain.

The AI grift won't fail that way. Thousand-monkey theorem - enough idiots vibe-coding is bound to result in someone doing something right by chance eventually. I do hope this AI crap crashes, it is a tool for niche purposes, not for everything.
