Individual authorship doesn't matter anymore, what matters is whether the user has control enough over the process to shape the output, and with recent AI agentic harnesses they do.

So then there is a ratio at which you would say it's a collaboration? What if I write the function signatures and allow the AI to fill in the implementations? What if I write half the implementation and the AI fills in the other half? What if I write comments and the AI fills in an implementation of the thing and then I review it and fix it manually, is that vibecoding or slopcoding? Are vibecoding and slopcoding the same?
Moreover: does any of that even matter if the end result is functionally the same either way?
I'm just trying to understand the acceptable way to use these tools because the opinions people have range from "not at all, never" to "all the time, always".
- AbhiramaVS 2mo agoimo you should use these tools to the extent that you still understand the code. i put this on my readme, but how I use these tools is I first draft the code for wtv Im doing manually (like a bug fix, new fewture etc) with a ton of comments so the LLM can understand what I ment to do, and then I just let it finish up the code with implementation, integration with rest of codebase, optimization if the code I wrote was terribly written and like also just to tell me if the bug fix is wrong etc. i think this is an appropriate use of AI but would love to hear other opinions
