I’ve seen this term thrown around a lot lately and I just wanted to read your opinion on the matter. I feel like I’m going insane.

Vibe coding is essentially asking AI to do the whole coding process, and then checking the code for errors and bugs (optional).

    Nearly every time I ask ChatGPT a question about a well established tech stack, it’s responses are erroneous to the point of being useless. It frequently provides examples using fabricated, non-existent functionality and the code samples are awful.

    What’s the point in getting AI to write code that I’m just going to have to completely rewrite?

      There’s one valid use-case for LLMs: when you have writer’s block, it can help to have something resembling an end product instead of a blank page. Sadly, this doesn’t really work for programming, because incorrect code is simply worse than no code at all. Every line of code is a potential bug and every line of incorrect code is a guaranteed bug.

      I use an LLM with great success to write bad fanfiction though.
