The post was probably made by a troll, but the comment section is wise to the issue.

I know we like to mock vibe coder because they can be naive, but many are aware that they are testing a concept and usually a very simple one. Would you rather have them test it with vibe coding or sit you down every afternoon for a week trying to explain how it's not quite what they wanted?

Why does this image look like an AI-generated screenshot? The letter spacing and weights are all wrong.

It's a real post on Reddit. I don't know what combination of screenshotting/uploading tools leads to this kind of mangling, but I've seen it in screenshots from Android, too. The artifacts seem to run down in straight vertical lines, so maybe slight scaling with a nearest-neighbor algorithm (in 2025?!?) plus a couple levels of JPEG compression? It looks really weird.

I'm curious. If anyone knows, please enlighten me!

It's like the nerd version of Synthol body 'builders'.

Well

That's horrifying. I thought it was way cooler that I could make my own muscles bigger by diet and exercise but maybe cool is different in different parts of the world

Whoa whoa, what do you want to do, crash the entire US stock market over here?! Our whole economy is propped up by the story that AI is the future and will replace all jobs forever. We've got MS paying OpenAI paying Nvidia, and that's making the line go up.

So let's be cool with throwing around "numbers" that "prove" the emperor has no clothes. Because, like, we gotta pretend he does at least until the next thing that needs every video card ever.

Can someone tell me what vibe coding is?

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 7 points 21 hours ago

Simply not caring and letting the dice roll machine drive

There are a bunch of tools that are basically a text editor hooked up to an LLM. So you use natural language to prompt the software to write code for you.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

And to add to this, you don't actually do any coding yourself. Just using something to help with boilerplate code isn't usually counted.

Although, I'm wondering from this Reddit r/vibecoding thread if that's a Lemmy-specific definition. Most of the people in it seem to be using LLMs in a sane way and are telling OP this isn't.

Can someone tell me what vibe coding is?

a term coined 6 months ago for writing software using an LLM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibe_coding

is it not making someone fix generated project is a massive work rather than building smething from the ground up?

I had a project where I was supposed to clean up a generated 3D model. It has messed up topology, some missing parts, unintelligible shapes. It made me depressed cleaning it up.

few of them was simple enough for me to rebuild the mesh from the ground up following the shape, as if I'm retopologizing. But the more complex ones have that unintelligible shapes that I can't figure what that is or the flow of the topology.

If I was given more time & pay I could rebuild all of that my own way so I understand every vertices exist in the meshes. But oh well that contradicts their need of quick & cheap.
