Banger statement.

True, but it's even a bit more removed than that.
For a version 0.9 prototype, AI can produce pretty awesome-feeling output even in the hands of the most incompetent. So it looks like a miracle that does it all, with zero effort.
It's later down the road that it starts hitting walls that need a competent architect in charge.
We’ve got this C Level guy at my work, who’s in charge of the AI offerings at our company. Every few weeks he does a presentation to the entire company where he pulls up this vibe coded locally hosted html file that is supposed to be this huge new workforce solution. It’s so scary to see him present this as if it’s working and not just a locally hosted mockup at best. Sales and Marketing do not see this as just a design presentation instead seeing something they can actively sell. I don’t know when this will backfire on us, when I brought it up to our VP he said “well maybe he’s selling the idea and a few years down the road after the contracts are signed they will build it”. I think this is just how corporate America is going to work now.
Shades of that famous quote by Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord.
What is terrifying is that those that claim 100x increased productivity are those with the least wisdom to tell good code from bad. They are the ones inundating the world with utter slop.
