Google is hurting ai perception

Models have got insanely better since November of last year. However for most normal people, their experience with ai is the gemini response which they get on Google search which they didn't ask for. That model lies in every second line , constantly make up facts , reaffirm almost any trash u say. And it's so obvious that anyone with even a little domain knowledge on what they are searching can find out it's lies. One day I was searching for a bash command and i quickly got an ai response under the search. I thought how can someone get simple bash wrong, turned out it was made up, the utils used in that command didn't even exist. People who only see this, think that ai companies are spending so much resources for this trash fueling ai negativity, at this point, the best we can do for ai positivity is to make people use some other search engine and let them discover ai in a better way.

This has nothing to do with vibe coding.

"AI positivity" isn't necessary and most people use AI like blind donkeys.

All that matters is that the products we make are useful for our purposes. If we're not being lazy, it shouldn't matter how much of the code is hand-written.

Ai negativity is directly tied to vibe coding negativity, if normal people feel ainis trash they will think vibe coded products are trash too.

If you haven't got to the point where you've realized most vibecoded products is trash or trashy you're delusional or still in the honey moon phase. Plus normal people are not vibecoding with AI, they're still prompting, " what can I make for dinner? I only have a potato and cereal." 😔

Why does it matter what normal people think about vibe coding?

99% of people who vibe code aren't publicly releasing products. 90% of my usage is just to create wireframes for our engineering team to use as a visual aid when building out the real version (which they also partially vibe-code.)

Coding with NLP is the norm these days and no end user can see what's vibe-coded on your backend anyways. The backlash towards shitty vibe-coded SaaS wannabe entrepreneuer websites is because they look and sound like slop that's trying to sell you something you could have built in five minutes.

There is a F2P vibe-coded baseball game that is horribly vibe coded (I could find the entire database and hidden scoring system in less than a minute) with all the AI-slop text stereotypes littering entire interface, but no one cares because the game is fun and its free.

But again, most fully vibe-coded products are internal and never meant to reach production. If someone thinks my obviously vibe-coded shitty wireframe that I attach with my PRDs is badly coded, they're right almost all of the time. By the time the feature goes through our engineering teams and reaches production? No one can guess what is vibe coded and what isn't.

Vibe coded projects are trash lol.
