    AI is great but you have to be able to call on everything you learnt prior
    to the arrival of LLMs to leverage the stochastic parrots properly (i.e. fixing their errors and flat out hallucinations): this is why pure vibe
    coding by people with no coding experience remains bullsh*t. #compsci #AI

    Vibe coding is just requirements engineering practice on a model of a
    segment of human coders. Vibe coders create policies for a software construction gig economy (in effect, the defence industry, because who
    else would need software construction prompts applicable to gig coding).

    Why do you trust source codes found by A.I.?

    A.I. merely helps programmers find canned source codes. Opening the can
    of worms, doing quality control and auditing security should still be
    done by human.

    BTW, I think you were talking about:

    helps, helped, or will help?

    mere LLMs don't even help find canned source codes, expert systems do that.

    Automated theorem provers can translate requirements direct to correct
    (and provably correct) programs (by the Curry-Howard correspondence).
    Auditing security should be done by these.

    Expert Systems and Automated Theorem Provers are AI too.

    LLMs could assist in generating conjectures for the automated theorem
    provers but then human language could become formalised and not natural
    and then we're in a double-plus-dystopia. LLMs should be very useful to
    create semi-formal statements that requirements encoders and customers
    mutually understand, but perhaps not by linguistic prompts but by
    providing faster navigation through the space of meaning - and faster
    mapping direct from the space of meaning to formal expressions of
    requirements.

    Would you, as a human, blindly trust A.I. buttons called "security" and "programming"? You still need to examine and audit the source codes of
    A.I. You still need to patrol & sample generated codes to gurantee that
    they were not tampered with. Persons doing these jobs still need to know programming and read source codes.

    Prove that A.I. is really coding not copying or stealing some human's
    work! :)

    What made vibe more trustworhty than non-vibe? Because vibe has "weapons
    of mass destruction"? Because vibe is authorized to kill humans? :)

    Ultimately, Who is/are to be fired or even sued if A.I. went wrong? You?
    You? You?

    Who wanna take total responsibilty?

    Not me! Because I dunno how to trust A.I. and its programmers! :)
