My default position: If an LLM can create it, we probably don't actually need it.

If AI can create it- it's probably already been created and thought of before?

You can let the LLM create slop for you, sure. But only amateurs are using it for that. You’ll be much happier if you treat it as a tool and use it like any other, a force multiplier to take your ideas and creations and pushes them further along faster.

If you treat it like a black box used to outsource your own thinking, you are holding it wrong.

It’s honestly been my experience. I think I’ve vibe coded one thing that I’ve found to be genuinely useful to me, everything else has ended up as useless slop given time.

I think we probably need less software, but higher quality, not more. Unfortunately AI only goes in one direction…
