Similar to "git clone bigproject@github.git"? There is nothing fascinating about creating something that has existed around the training set. It is fascinating that the AI can make some variations from the original content though.

This is where all the "vibe-coders" disappears. LLMs can write code fast but so does copy-paste. Most of the "vibe-coded" stuff I see on the Internet is non-functional slop that is super-unoptimized and has open supabase databases.

To be clear, I am not against LLMs or embracing new technologies. I also don't have this idea that we have some kind of "craft" when we have been replacing other people for the last couple decades.

I've been building a game (fully vibe-coded, that is the rule is that I don't write/read any lines of code) and it has reached a stage where any LLM is unable to make any change without fully breaking it (for the curious: https://qpingpong.codeinput.com). The end result is quite impressive but it is far from replacing anyone who has been doing serious programming anytime soon.
