Solid points. I will add a few points.

1) A lot of the time i spent deciding on interfaces (methods, classes, etc.) for humans. E.g. should this be two methods or one, should this method be in this class or moved to utility. Those problems went away. 2) What about performant code? This can be prompted away and when the measurements in your performance tests do not go down, then you can step in. 3) Sad to say but the AI has always been better than me at code-reviews. Maybe this is just me and if so I own that, but to the articles point, it might be harder to fix now. 4) "vibe-coded projects devolve over time into an unmaintainable mess". Preventing and managing this mess is the new skill sets we need to develop as software engineers. 5) Another skill-set we will need to master is how to maintain and grow our coding skills. Some ideas are: a) every once in a while implement a feature yourself. b) no AI Tuesdays! c) Have the AI quiz you on the code base. d) Have the AI develop HTML docs about how the code works.

I'm switching to Linux desktop. I'm done with Windows and Apple. Both these companies do sleazy dark patterns.

Oh wow you may have just answered a question I been having. I planted some apple trees in my backyard. The AI helping me suggested 3 trees, one of which was a crab-apple tree that it said will be used to pollinate the other two. Maybe it lied to me. But i did follow its instructions. I was wondering why the other two (Honeycrisp and another delicious variety) could not just pollinate each other.

To me they are all just cats. I'm sure if they all got it on they would all be able to have functional offspring.

I imagine Claudisms might make it into human-speak.

Here's the part no one is talking about.

This reminds me of the Dark Forest theory but for businesses.

This is a great topic. Lets say for a second the information is factual, then are these AI videos good? Sometimes I see these AI videos that tackle more obscure topics that are still interesting. These topics may have been monetarily prohibitive to do. Maybe too risky or getting all the animation and content too costly for the payout. But now with AI, all the data can be easily gathered.

Now lets talk about factuality. A human creator can just as easily lie or not fact-check all their sources. But if they do decide to fact-check, wouldn't it be easier to just task the AI to fact check. Simply tell it, "leave out any data that has not been fact checked and mapped back to a reliable source."

I love the narrator Scott Brick. He's prolific audio books narrator.
