The following, found in comments, is a freaking neat analogy regarding vibe-coded awful sorrowful nonsense out there…
- Benjamin Burnley makes gaming mods?! The f*ck? That’s awesome!
- Well he vibe codes gaming mods. idk if i would say he makes them. ~ That_Cripple
- He made it. Constructed it. Whatever you want to call it. You didn’t. Vibe coding isn’t doing nothing.
- He ordered it. When I order a steak at a steakhouse that doesn’t make me a chef. ~ SpacePrezSource: https://redd.it/1w9vfue (Benjamin Burnley interrupts a Breaking Benjamin concert with a rant about his True First Person 1.2 Fallout 4 mod…)
Meanwhile, of course, the music/art of the Breaking Benjamin, the Fallout Community, and the art around all the Universes, including The Elder Scrolls, Starfield, Fallout… of the artists/developers at Bethesda, Zenimax, Id… is infinitely, ineffably magnificent…

Does ordering from Subway make me a chef? I’m prompting the employee to assemble the sandwich I want, after all.
If you helped them cook the bread and meat properly ?? Subway is a bit different because you could automate this completely and just use a terminal to order toppings
You don’t help the chatbot cook your code properly either, you prompt it to cook it for you.
Vibe coding is not coding. It’s ordering a sandwich.
I think we’re getting hung up on the chef thing. The point is, you’ve eaten. You can eat well by cooking it yourself or by going to a good restaurant with an amazing chef.
Conversely if you eat microwaved meals all week, or live off drive through food, your food was technically made by a chef, but you may not live past 50.
LLMs in society are a very complex thing. The core technology isn’t evil. The capitalist-overdrive approach is mental. And the unregulated way it is introduced into society is irresponsible.
Once you understand that this is a probabilistic tool that with some tinkering can run locally, and should not be trusted as a deterministic tool for research, fact finding or calculations, you have a tool you can use for something in addition to several other tools.
No, I think the chef thing is literally the point.
No, that wasn’t the topic at all. The topic was about him being the creator or not. Stay on topic.
Your point is valid, but in another context, to be clear.
