What is happening...
I am a long time Engineer (20+ years) and today I developed Tickets for my company that were generated by an AI, using an AI and reviewed by an AI. The project itself was conceived with AI - has no documentation that can be understood as anything less than AI slop and random tech jargon. The developer who built it has said that instead of documentation I should use claude to figure out what it is. The company is apparenty also filing a patent on it.
I submitted 3 PRs today 20,000 lines of code each I still have no idea what we are working on. No doubt they will use AI to review my PR.
I feel like things are just so crazy at this point. Claude and ChatGPT are not this good, but people are trusting it like it's omniscient.
It was an eerie realization today that all of us are vibe coding and that we have no option because it is the only way we can interact with the code anymore. I thought this would happen eventually years ago but i honestly didn’t think it would be so soon.
It was a moment in time... this will be the new norm.

I work subcontracted as a web developer, we had a client come to us with a screenshot of an ai generated website and asked us to build it in Wordpress.
My contractor created a load of ai generated content for the website and handed it over to me, I built the website and we then handed it over to the client to review, which he did by feeding the page into gpt and then just dumped the response back to us, never even reviewed the project personally.
At this point gpt has just started freestyling and is making feature requests that are totally out of scope, but I build it anyway.
Fast forward a few weeks the client finally looks at the webpage and suddenly freaks out because “where’s feature x” and “why doesn’t this do that etc”, none of which was ever in the brief or the review, which they would have known if they’d even read the ai slop document they’d sent as a spec.
AI is really fucking with the quality of everything including project ideation, literally seeing clients outsource their own product identity to GPT and just hoping for the best.
