There is an incentive for dishonesty about what AI can and cannot do.

People from OpenAI was saying that GPT2 had achieved AGI. There is a very clear incentive for that statement to be made by people who are not using AI for anything productive.

Even as increasingly bombastic claims are made, it is obvious that the best AI cannot one-shot everything if you are an actual user. And the worst ones: was using Gemini yesterday and it wouldn't stop outputting emojis, was using Grok and it refused to give me a code snippet because it claimed its system prompt forbade this...what can you say?

I don't understand why anyone would want to work on a codebase they didn't understand either. What happens when something goes wrong?

Again though, there is massive financial incentive to make these claims, and some other people will fall along with that because it is good for their career, etc. I have seen this in my own company where senior people are shoehorning this stuff in that they clearly do not actually use or understand (to be clear, this is engineering not management...these are people who definitely should understand but do not).

Great tool, but the 100% vibecoding without looking at the code, for something that you are actually expecting others to use, is a bad idea. Feels more like performance art than actual work. I like jokes, I like coding, room for both but don't confuse the two.
