A lot of the interest in Ladybird and its parent project, SerenityOS, stemmed from the bespoke, "from scratch" approach Andreas advocated. If they're going to start vibe-coding everything, then what's the point of the top-to-bottom wheel reinvention they're doing? E.g., why even bother maintaining their own, custom XML parser instead of using any of the multitude that already exist (including in Rust) if they're ultimately going to lean heavily on AI in the course of developing it, since that inherently involves laundering existing implementations?
This project, of all of them, throwing in the towel on AI makes me fear AI abstainers have no future.
