The idea that users "make their own tool with AI" is a nerd fantasy that does not exist in the real world. Some use cases get absorbed into products like ChatGPT because Jim no longer needs a special web-based tool/calculator/product and can just ask ChatGPT to do it for him. But normies can't and don't want to build or maintain products. They wouldn't even have the patience to write the prompt to ask the AI to build it for them. Vibe-coders are mainly wannabe programmers and nerd hobbyists.
