Vibe Coding Is Creating Braindead Coders | N’s Blog

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/10

The below blog post sparked my thought into finally having words for what bothered me for such a long time using LLM for coding:

When using LLM for coding, you basically unlearn to solve simple problems. That practically also removes your ability to solve the difficult problems that LLM cannot help solving.

Because the day we stop struggling with hard problems is the day we stop being programmers, and become something else entirely.

and before that:

August 2025 — AI False Claim Monitor – NewsGuard: AI False Information Rate Nearly Doubles in One Year

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/18

NewsGuard August 2025 One Year Progress Report: Percentage of Responses Containing False Information

NewsGuard August 2025 One Year Progress Report: Percentage of Responses Containing False Information

This is what I have been warning for since 2020: AI LLM will end up in a downward quality spiral.

My reasoning back then, and still now is that they:

  • cannot distinguish LLM generated training data from human data making the LLM worse over time
  • don’t perform human curation thereby not solving the worsening

I’m not surprised by the [Wayback/Archive] August 2025 — AI False Claim Monitor – NewsGuard summary:

OpenAI Researchers Find That Even the Best AI Is “Unable To Solve the Majority” of Coding Problems

[Wayback/Archive] OpenAI Researchers Find That Even the Best AI Is “Unable To Solve the Majority” of Coding Problems

Either Erik Meijer begs to differ, or this is sarcasm: [WaybackSave/Archive] Erik Meijer on X: “I don’t think many developers realized their white collar job could be implemented by a few hundred lines of JavaScript … plus a couple of billion floating point numbers. And we are only just beginning.”

Claude Code is a Beta product per Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service.

It is part of [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – anthropics/claude-code: Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal, understands your codebase, and helps you code faster by executing routine tasks, explaining complex code, and handling git workflows – all through natural language commands. for which you need to be aware of

Data collection, usage, and retention

When you use Claude Code, we collect feedback, which includes usage data (such as code acceptance or rejections), associated conversation data, and user feedback submitted via the /bug command.

ChatGPT is een soort waarzegger, die net iets vaker de waarheid vertelt | de Volkskrant

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/17

Een paar quotes van Laurens Verhagen’s column [Wayback/Archive] ChatGPT is een soort waarzegger, die net iets vaker de waarheid vertelt | de Volkskrant:

‘Mensen vrezen dat computers te slim worden en de wereld zullen overnemen, maar het echte probleem is dat ze te dom zijn en de wereld al hebben overgenomen.’ Deze vaak aangehaalde uitspraak van computerwetenschapper Pedro Domingos is al zo’n tien jaar oud, maar heeft nog niets aan actualiteit ingeboet.

ChatGPT in de basis is: een slimme woordvoorspeller.

Nog erger is misschien wel dat er bij Harper’s Bazaar blijkbaar niemand meer is die nog een boek leest. Ze zijn daar te druk met lijstjes maken aan de hand van chatbots, maar vooral met zichzelf in rap tempo overbodig te maken.

Dat laatste geldt natuurlijk voor iedereen die zwaar leunt op generative AI zonder veel moeite te steken in te verifiëren dat wat de woord- en beeldvoorspellers produceren klopt. Die moeite wordt steeds groter juist door de vervuiling van trainingsdata doordat AI trainingsmodellen niet kunnen onderscheiden of hun bron nu door mensen of door AI wordt gemaakt.

De trainingspool van menselijke data (feit of fictie – waaronder uiteraard satire, dat kunnen de modellen ook niet onderscheiden) – al dan niet uit materiaal dat zonder toestemming is opgenomen – is overigens inmiddels doodgebloed:

“Het had waar kunnen zijn” had van ChatGPT kunnen komen. Als die term faschineert, lees dan vooral [Wayback/Archive] Van Aarsvink tot Zeebreker – O.C. Hooymeijer.

Famous AI Artist Says He’s Losing Millions of Dollars From People Stealing His Work

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/13

Using generative AI for your work can very likely result into your work not being copyrightable, at least in the USA: [Wayback/Archive] Famous AI Artist Says He’s Losing Millions of Dollars From People Stealing His Work

The guy who used Midjourney to create an award-winning piece of AI art demands copyright protections.

Now, in an ironic twist, Allen is upset that his work—which was created via a platform that’s been accused of ripping off countless copyrighted works—cannot, itself, be copyrighted, and is thus getting ripped off. In March of last year, the U.S. Copyright Office ruled that work derived from AI platforms “contained no human authorship” and therefore could not be extended copyright protections. Allen has been trying, since late 2022, to register his painting as a copyrighted work.
