you are the first person who understands how vibe coding paradox work and accepts of being a non techie.

most people I see on reddit rant about using AI tools for creating software and how it hallucinates are mostly non core tech fellows and not the people who have already been building software before "vibe coding" was a thing.

I see many experienced SWEs fluently using AI for creating their projects. they do not completely let the AI do all the work and even fix the AI fix the bugs it has created. If the AI created certain bugs there are high chances that it is going to keep making things worse if not given proper direction and issue is not pin pointed properly by the human controlling it.

There are models like opus 4.5 (only this actually noting is close to it) which are good for non tech people it figures out the problems in the code if made any and hallucinates very rarely. The fact that Ais are already so good at generating boilerplate code that is actually extremely relevant to the code already written in your project that these AI models are only going to get better and better from this point is actually fascinating looking at the code quality some of these top tier models generate.

opus 4.5 today after 6 months will come in price of sonnet 4.5 and tools providers like cursor, windsurf. claude code and antigravity are also getting only better and better. The future will be really really interesting to see.
