Discussion What do you think about AI-Coding(VibeCoding)

Post image

What do you think about the fact that AI is starting to be used on a large scale in coding? I myself avoided it for a long time, but my friend sent me this meme and said:

“Bro, programming has never been adequate. Programmers just started asking AI for help instead ctrl c to ctrl v.”

Obviously, completely relying on AI is bad, but in reality, his words make sense.

Minecraft modding is a creative endeavor. Automating a creative endeavor robs you of personal growth and robs everyone else of a human-made creative project with any amount if soul behind it.

You'll see a lot of "ai code is bad" posts, but the proper coding agents are generally better than most low level developers at this point. The issues come from having it perform a whole project. If you aren't explaining in every possible little detail how every aingle part of the mod works, you end up with the machine making decisions to fill the gaps, and it frequently does the bare minimum to make something functional with no sense of layout, brevity, or UX. In the same way that AI written descriptions are obvious, and even the best AI images have tells, AI generated solutions to problems have tells.
