Imagine you cooked something great, a deliciously tender cake or something. I ask you if I can try some, you say sure, cut off a little piece for me, then you drop it and tell I can have it on the floor. That is what AI is doing for writing. Why should I care how the cake would taste, if I don't like eating on the floor?

  > I hate cookie banners.
Shows a cookie banner.

Did you know that if you don't use cookies (or other persistent tokens) for ads and tracking, you don't need to show the banner? So maybe direct your hate to website owners? And yourself.

Not a luddite, it's just allergy to slop, that's normal.

I have, yes.

I don't reject AI in development. I reject garbage and attempts to mislead people.

The link is a piece of crap wrapped in candy packaging, able to fool anyone who couldn't be bothered to unwrap the candy. DOA slop. It has nothing to do with either art or craft. This is actually a perfect example why agents' code cannot be trusted.

  > Does the label "vibe-coded" even make sense
Yes.

  > if even in major organizations most of the code is written by LLM-based agents?
Then it just means that these major organizations are vibe-coding.

I'm sorry, I have a hard time understanding you. Correct me if I'm wrong, are you saying that

1. paying an illustrator is non-economically-viable for 99% of homelabbers? and

2. AI would have done it at an equivalent quality level?
