In response to The Internet Review: Sorry, You Don't Get to Die on That "Vibe Coding" Hill, @xinit@mastodon.coffee noted:
@confluency "Look, you need to carefully look at each piece of the sandwich and make sure it's edible before you take a bite. The LLM said that that was ham, but when it turned out to be rusty razor blades, the LLM apologized and corrected to say that it was roast beef. The fault is the person eating the sandwich, obviously."
and Adrianna Pińska @confluency@hachyderm.io continued:
@xinit @baldur Look, the first time I picked up the street ham, I checked it carefully and it was fine, so it follows logically that I don't have to check any other pieces of street ham because they will also be fine.
(This is a real thing a man with a PhD in a scientific field said to me about using genAI to write his research software.)
