The arguments against AI assisted coding used to be "only for toy projects", then at some point it became "no dignity", "joyless". Now it's "no new breakthrough" apparently. All in the span of maybe a year. I say it's made tremendous progress.

Then where is the big new non toy project created since vibe coding became a thing, that couldn’t have been created without ai?

don’t know if this qualifies as big in your book, but there are some well marketed advances here:

I make one (small) almost every day. Admittedly the reason that couldn’t be done is because it would take time that I don’t have but 1000% every day something is written by AI that I use that would not exist if AI didn’t exist.

I don’t publish them - but they’re put into use in production and they provide a tangible benefit that would not exist otherwise.

		I do this too. I especially love how making a nicely styled website these days is a matter of describing what it looks like and waiting 10-15 minutes. There are other examples But the OP is claiming 10x productivity improvements along some metrics. If that was even slightly true under even a generous interpretation of what it might mean, I’d expect an actual breakthrough, not the ability to churn out little things
