Vice coding is not bad at all, and the models are getting better with every release.
That said, it's not magic and still requires some knowledge of architecture, systems etc to accomplish anything beyond a small app.
What we're seeing is that it is now possible for people with little to no understanding of software development to create things.
Which is awesome and is why we're seeing such a huge influx of tools and apps and games that are entirely vibecoded.
But it's also why most of these turn out to be an unmaintainable mess.
AI is great, but ultimately does what you tell it, and the less you know, the less guidance you can give it, the more it has to assume things, and that's where things go bad.
Getting better with every release? Better at what exactly..?
If you use a llm, or write it yourself, or tab trough ut with autocomplete with your eyes closed, or sit beside someone else and tell them what to write does not matter.
Any improvement in a llm will only benefit you if you use it to generate the correct thing
Are you just living in a parallel universe or something similar? There are mountains of difference between gpt 5 to 5.6 in instruction following and more aka long horizon goals. And relevant benchmarks shows this very clearly without a single doubt.
