I wonder if physical technological progress is also the same as information treatment progress. Everybody is happy having food and materials faster. But AI bringing you solutions faster is also taking away your job, passion.. the negative side seems larger.

Is it?

Every single vibe-coded software I've ever used looks pretty on the outside but has massive, glaring holes in functionality that make it unusable.

It's like having food faster but then you find out it's actually full of silicone and microplastics.

You don’t have to “vibe code” anything to get enormous benefits from AI.

Yes, but "vibe coding" is what's driving the investment bubble.

I cannot comment but I would like to know if there's data to support that assertion.

Not OC, but the idea that AI will replace (most) engineers depends on something like vibecoding working well, and that idea is certainly driving a lot of the stock market hype.
