Any opinions on "vibe coding"? (lemy.lol)

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).

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.
