I 100% agree. I heard via a CTO I've worked with before that a stakeholder in the company had come to him with a mock frontend that looked beautiful, it even had bits of interactivity where it could be used as if it was real. He asked them who made it, because it was very nice; they said "I made it!" (Claude made it). Now the plan for the next product is to shove it into a server format so that it can be used with a vibecoded frontend where the stakeholder is now responsible.

Honestly, I think the above situation is as good as it can get with these stakeholder hallucinations; ultimately the web frontend is likely to buckle under the pressure of having almost zero technical backing behind its creation, it'll perform badly with even the most basic of things and a real one will likely be created instead. The key is that the person having the LLM psychosis is the one that is responsible, so when things fail it's their fault.
