I was watching a video where Sean Costello the creator of Valhalla Reverbs was talking about the original Schroeder algorithm design for the first digital reverberator. Schroeder had to schedule time on an IBM time-sharing system days in advance. Then he'd have to write out the code in machine language. Then he had to drive 30 minutes to where the only DAC he had access to was in order to test out his algorithm. Repeat. We don't do that shit anymore.

How is this different?

I don't try to hide my AI tracks. I'll gladly tell anybody that AI helped me do it because it did such a fantastic job. I mean, that's literally what this post is about!

My plug-in sounds way better than the UM-282 which was hand-coded before AI was getting popular. That's all that matters!

Honestly I think you should re-examine your own position. I see you've written plugin software in the past and I'm sure you spent a long time on DSP algorithms and learning and understanding.

Well I did the same thing with web-based software for the last 25 years. The world doesn't give two shits man. The world is going to do what the world is going to do.

You're free to have your own opinion

> How is this different?

What Schroeder was doing wasn't fundamentally built on plagiarism and copyright laundering. The externalities of commercial LLMs are pretty well-documented at this point.

> I'll gladly tell anybody that AI helped me do it because it did such a fantastic job.

And yet you got defensive when I asked you about it. I stand by what I said – you're worried about how it reflects on you and your product. Justifiably so, considering the audience you're going to be selling to.

> That's all that matters!

If that's what you need to believe, I guess? Again – you want to sell vibecoded software to people who themselves are threatened by AI and you're hoping they won't notice or won't care.

> Honestly I think you should re-examine your own position. I see you've written plugin software in the past and I'm sure you spent a long time on DSP algorithms and learning and understanding.

I've spent plenty of time examining my own position and I have come to the conclusion that, no matter how good vibecoding is, it's fundamentally immoral and I judge its practitioners harshly.

And you're just along for the ride? Have a backbone, at least.
