From my understanding a vibe coder is someone who builds software using mainly AI generated code. It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re a bad coder, but often the code generated by AI is just hard to process at this scale and people will have no clue what exactly is going on in their project.

if they build software using mainly ai generated code, then they are a bad coder

Even if you're the one that built, programmed, and trained the AI when nothing else like it existed?

So? Some of the people pushing out ai slop would be perfectly capable of writing their own llm out of widely available free tools. Contrary to popular belief, they are not complex pieces of software, just extremely data hungry. Does not mean they magically understand the code output by the llm when it spits out something.

Stark would have developed their own way of training their AI. It wouldn't be an LLM in the first place.

and he stil wouldn't understand its output. Because as we clearly see, he doesn't even try to look at it.

What if it were just a really big Expert system?

That's usually the thing that you call AI players or COM players in computer games.

given that expert systems are pretty much just a big ball of if-then statements, then he might be considered to have written the app. Just with way more extra steps.

Even if they build the AI doing it from scratch, all by themselves?
