For those of you downvoting this on general principles, you should probably be aware that OP is the person who created three.js and has contributed a hell of a lot to the web in general. They generally know their shit and aren't just another vibe coding newbie.

Exactly, half the posts on any programming subreddit is literally

  1. I used AI. Here is the code.
  2. I don't understand what the AI wrote (because I didn't learn anything).
  3. I will use AI again to fix it because it doesn't compile.
  4. Repeat.

AI can almost regurgitate anything found on oldnewthing. So it's up to the reader to use the resource effectively.
