Has any group of workers ever "won" a long-term victory against a new technology? There are plenty of short-term concessions made in the face of powerful trade union opposition, but I can't think of any technology that was just stopped dead to appease workers with obsolete skills.
That assumes we're talking about technologies that are legal and in some way beneficial. AI is basically large-scale copyright infringement. If allowed to continue, human authors (I'm including programmers here) will eventually just stop publishing, because why feed the machine that's busy replacing you? You're not even getting paid for it, because the magic box can do the same thing you can for cheaper.
Thing is, everything AI produces is derivative; it cannot make anything truly original. Therefore widespread AI adoption will inevitably lead to scientific and cultural stagnation.
So we'll have our magic box that can perform our every wish. And we'll all be worse off for it.
The tweet was fine - it was directly addressing Corgi's claim that they had "vibe coded" DataRoom when they had copied and pasted it from Papermark. The problem is the OP chose to perform a contextectomy on the tweet and make it look like it's making a completely different argument.
AI is busy destroying my art and my livelihood. Fighting back is about as psychotic as drapetomania[0] was.

No, read the post. This is directly copying another product. "Vibe coding" which may or may not have happened is not the point here.
No. The Unity script reference and documentation probably did not have a license that required you to attribute the original source.
Did you do that for personal use or for billions upon billions of dolars?
This doesn't appear to be AI posturing, did you read the tweet? It is about one product blatantly, directly ripping off another.

Then it shouldn't reference AI or Vibe coding.
