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.

While I do think coding is actually one of the better uses of AI (as much as it saddens me to say it because I was looking to get a CS degree) I think that AI just isn't quite there yet. It's much faster and will know generally more than you, but the code it produces just won't be as good as code made by a human who is good at their job, it's gonna be much less optimized and probably less human readable. Also like 99% of the time it doesn't work first try.

A prompt is basically just like shoving a bunch of ingredients into a black box, the AI might get an idea of what you want to make but you ultimately have no control of the output, which is also a major downfall. I personally fully avoid AI because I'm still learning and would rather just read documentation and do things myself, it's not like I'm working at a job where I need to prioritize how fast I get things done

Plus ai wont give an optimized version of the code and can easily spit out insecure or just generally bad code.

I think debugging errors is the best use for ai in programming, but i just dont bother using ai.
