I must disagree with you here. Telling the compiler what to do is not like prompting an LLM. I see writing code as a form of art and a big part of that is understanding the logic behind the program and the creating process. Imagine it like painting a picture. The artist/dev will undergo all the stages of drawing/coding the vision will change in the process and the outcome might be different then what was originally anticipated.
This pipeline of creating gives the project usually a better result. One could say it gives the project more soul.
With AI you are no longer the artist you are the manager requesting the result and since AI does not undergo this process of creativity the result is a soulless husk. At best only what you asked for but nothing more.
If people where complaining about AI because of its ease of use the same people would be complaining about pythons approach of humanspeech-like-code. (Not saying that there are no people that do so)
So with this logic are you also not an artist if you use tools like Photoshop? Do you need to write with pen and paper?
Is writing code in any language other than assembly also cheating?
I don't know why this reply is being downvoted
If I had to guess, it's probably because most gamers aren't programmers.
No of course not. Did you even finish reading my comment? I thought made it clear that the ease of use is not the issue. The lack of creativity is. Using Photoshop still requires you to think about what you want and how to get there. AI just gives you the output. There is no creativity involved in prompting.
When the first drawing tablets came out people loved them. Almost no one was the impression that it was "cheating". Even with the use of AI you can still make creative projects but the creativity comes from you. Vibecoding or using image-gen does not involve creative thought.
EDIT: Imagine playing a game made by someone who is not passionate about their work. That's what it feels to play an AI made game.
Vibecoding is idea driven implementation. You have an idea, you are creative in your ideas and not in the implementation.
"Tell you never wrote code before without telling me you never wrote code before"-ass answer.
There’s a difference between using AI to help you code and pure vibe coding. The latter is how you end up with slop, but the former can absolutely speed up skilled developers.
Same is true across the board with AI use. It can easily be a force multiplier for people as long as you don’t turn off your brain and slop away.
