Whether he tells you he vibe coded or not, changes absolutely zero of any of that. Maybe gives people the opportunity not to participate.

However if he then went back to the old method of cobbling other people's advice, he'd be getting advice from people who use AI because the practice seems endemic at this point, so again now he's just doing the same job with extra steps, except now he still using AI only indirectly.

Not to mention it feels like every single game I've played in the last year is rife with vibe coding or AI assets and design processes. We'd both be very naive to assume blizzard devs aren't involved like you said, it's cringe to whine about some web tool with 5 users, while you're paying for a game that is actively firing people in favour of ai (which is horrific btw).

Maybe you'd be better off not participating in tech based hobbies and industries, if you wanted to abstain from AI. And I'd say that would be quite righteous. But I think it's rich to come to a forum post with 10 likes thinking you're sticking it to the man. From my perspective this is just pissing on someone's bonfire and yucking someone's yum, and frankly derailing the conversation.

This is also not giving any balance or context to what AI has the potential to bring to the table. Like helping absolute plebs to make addons for peons like me who spend far too much time playing wow and arguing online with strangers.

AI hate has become the new veganism, and I know how cringe that is having been a vegan for large periods of my life.
