> As vibe coding becomes normalized

Just want you to know this heart monitor we gave you was engineered with vibe coding, that's why your insurance was able to cover it. Nobody really knows how the software works (because...vibes), but the AI of course surpasses humans on all current (human-created) benchmarks like SAT and bar exam tests, so there's no reason to think its software isn't superior to human-coded (crusty old non "vibe coded" software) as well. You should be able to resume activity immediately! good luck

What percent of applications require that level of reliability?

Vibe coding will be normalized because the vast, vast majority of code is not life or death. That literally what “normal” means.

Exceptional cases like pacemakers and spaceflight will continue to be produced with rigor. Maybe even 1% of produced code will work that way!

Do we really want to go further down this path?
Things that used to work just fine are already breaking badly because of AI.

this is black and white thinking. if the practice of "let the AI write the code and assume it's fine because I'm only an incurious amateur anyway" becomes normalized, the tendency of AI to produce inaccurate slop will become more and more part of software we use every day and definitely will begin impacting functions that are more and more critical over time.
