I’ve been wondering if vibe coding was responsible for the recent introduction of acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) bugs in FaceTime (muting and unmuting the microphone appears to temporarily fix it). Apple has always had excellent AEC in my experience, it’s sad to see them breaking a fundamental phone function.

It could also be the problem was that they tried to code it themselves instead of letting a computer do it.

Like doing long division by hand instead of trusting a calculator.
