Where Are the Vibecoded Photoshops?

The preponderance of evidence to date would point to systems engineered by meatbags are of a significantly higher quality than vibe coded ones.

My use of the word “system” is very intentional vs. something less qualifying like “program”.

Edit to add: my take is proper system engineering and design basically requires general intelligence, so the bar for LLMs to reliably produce high quality systems is AGI.

It's no longer a choice. The AI is already causing changes in how competition, investors and users behave.

This seems to be a non-sequitur, did you respond to the wrong comment? And investors are famously stupid on aggregate, so I wouldn’t trust their judgment in terms of predicting the future of systems engineering.
