To be fair that’s what I’d have done had I had to build it. Use a lot of examples etc and build on what other people have done

I assume, the purpose would be to learn how it's done. There's no place for this when you vibecode. And if not learning, what's the point of implementing something that already exists?
When I'm dying of dehydration because humanity has depleted all fresh water deposits, I'll think of you and your stupid NES emulator which is just an LLM-produced copy of many ones that had already existed.
You know, when you descend into that level of hyperbole, especially when it’s targeted at another person it really doesn’t help your case.
I'm not here to hype LLMs but they don't used an outsized share of fresh water, that's essentially a myth hyped by social media.

The majority of open source software development is "implementing something that already exists", but with improvements, such as for specific use cases and constraints (like the original NES emulator) or by making it more performant. That's how the ecosystem mutates and grows, and it's worked well for decades.

I don't think open office/libre office etc have access to the source code for MS office and if they did MS would be on them like a rash.
Blame the game, not the player.
