If you think that all instances of using AI to write code is vibe coding and you can't even spell model you might not last much longer

I think this is an uncharitable misinterpretation of the parent comment. I took “modal engineer” to mean “the statistical mode of engineers”, not a misspelling of “model engineer”. Which means I think you’re in agreement that using AI to write code is not necessarily vibe coding and that vibe coding is not what the majority (mode) are doing. But I may be wrong.

  You are absolutely right :)

  Thanks I had never seen that word used in this context!

“Modal” is a word. The AI brainrot is real.

  You can’t definitively say that using AI is making people stupid. It could as well be that stupid people are drawn towards using AI.

    AI is just another way to not use your brain, I think there’s plenty of consensus around the fact that not using your brain makes you dumber. So actually, yes you can say that definitely.

  Unfortunately I was like this long before LLMs, trust me ;) And yes I know it's a word, I know at least two meanings it has but in this particular usage I was not familiar with it. Anyways, I was wrong and I will take the L

The certitude with which you condemn your peer without the slightest consideration for subtlety or alternate explanations for what you've understood to be true -- this comment is such a beautiful encapsulation of the state of discourse today. In some ways it is the modal comment of the moment. Tastelessness and mediocrity and inability to grasp nuance or feign at humility are on full display, not to mention a fantasy for violence It's a work of art

  > Tastelessness and mediocrity and inability to grasp nuance or feign at humility are on full display, not to mention a fantasy for violence You are doing the same thing, very ironic. At least I'm not the one trying to act like I'm on the moral high ground.

    How is that the same thing at all? You didn't understand the comment you replied to and were confidently wrong. The person replying to you understood what you were saying very clearly and didn't make any ridiculous "you may not last long" comments like you did...

      You're taking this far too seriously. You'd think I'd committed a terrible crime or something. Give it a break.

  That's true

  Yes, those are not conflicting statements. All rectangles are not squares after all. If you can reply to me and actually put the point that you are attempting to make into words I would be shocked. Give it a try!

    I will reply when you have anything substantial to talk about except for personal attacks.
