I don't particularly care if vibe coding and the like are used for web apps and mobile apps. The quality there has always been poor and gets worse over time. AI slopware is just the new low and in a few years time I'm sure they will find a way to make things even worse.

But for software infrastructure; Kernels, operating systems, compilers, browsers, etc, it is crazy we are even considering AI at it's current ability. If we are going to do that, we need to switch to Ada/SPARK or some other type of formally verifiable system.

Maybe I'm overreacting, but all I want to do right now is escape. It horrifies me to think that one day I may be driving a car with a braking system vibe coded in C++.

I don’t think you’re overreacting.

Great care and attention is required for critical system components and LLMs lack both.

Not to mention the copyright risks - do we really want a piece of code that can’t be licensed or turns out to be a verbatim copy from another project to end up in the kernel or something? (No, the answer is we don’t want.).

i dont work in then auto industry but Ive read stuff from people that do and Im pretty sure I remember they all say that all major car mfg code is tons of auto generated slop even pre AI.
