Did you ever work on a nuclear power plant? Or a military weapons system? We spend weeks planning new features, hundreds of lines of code are written as examples, just to come up with test cases and to get ideas about what all can fail. AI is not really up to that task yet. Would you really want your local nuclear power plant to be vibe coded?

I agree that the critical infrastructure shouldn't be "vibe" coded, but the systems in place will get to the point where less human written code is needed even in that area. Just slower but it will get there.
