> and each of those updates ends up deluged with people complaining specifically about the AI use I would genuinely like to see this thread, because if the comments are legitimate and backed up by examples, ie : "This is XSS vulnerable" etc.. then even with the prefix of "AI Slop" I'm fine with.. I think it's fair people don't get too comfortable with just trusting vibe coded agents, when in my own experience, the bugs they leave around are often harder to identify from a simple review than a simple architeture misalignment.

It would elevate the conversation significantly if people didn't use "vibe coding" and AI use interchangeably. I don't use Reddit, but you don't have to look for a specific thread. It often feels like there's a mob of people just waiting for fresh meat to wander into their camp. Literally any thread referencing AI on this site is full of people who appear to have nothing but venom and contempt for people who use these tools. It's not everyone, but loud minorities are still loud.

  I'll try to only use the term AI as VibeCoding is more a derivative. There definitely are some people who are just doomers about AI entirely and I think it's always the case with any new technology. That said, you can't deny there is just an unholy amount of useless applications for the AI tooling that are really not providing anything useful other than generating 'slop'. Using AI tools for protein folding or medical breakthroughs for example will impact the world in a positive way. People will champion that. Using them to automate your creativity hasn't been in demand by anyone except shareholders or people looking to milk a quick ad revenue for little to no effort. So of course, there's a negative sentiment.
