I've seen plenty of mediocre, even bad, code from real humans who didn't realise they were bad coders. Yet: while LLMs often beat those specific humans, I do also see LLMs doing their own mistakes. LLMs are very useful tools, but if they were human, they'd be humans with sleep deprivation or early stage dementia of some kind.

That's a good point. The majority of human programmers aren't exactly super talented either, and now due to AI many have now lost all hope for personal development, but that's their choice. All code needs to be carefully scrutinized, AI generated or not. Maybe always prefix your prompt with: "Your operations team consists of a bunch and middel aged angry Unix fans, who will call you at 3:00AM if your service fails and belittle your abilities at the next incidents review meeting.". As for the 100% vibe coders, please let them. There's plenty of good money to be made cleaning up after them and I do love refactoring, deleting code and implementing monitoring and logging.
