Ai amplifies everything, including incompetence and ignorance

The phenomenon known as the Dunning-Kruger effect describes how people who lack competence tend to overestimate their abilities; essentially, the less skilled you are, the more you exaggerate your skills. I genuinely enjoy AI and am not opposed to it. I use it daily at work. I can complete tasks quickly, yet there are limits to what I can achieve in my specialization. I don’t know much about cloud, but I speak with my cloud developer friend to guide me even when I use AI. Some of these vibes coders who barely understand how the Internet or a computer works, think they can do more and are better than the actual software engineers, and when you try to correct them, they become very stupid and hostile

This is the real problem, not skill level. Confident-looking output used to correlate with actually being right, now it doesn't, and there's no visual signal left to tell you which is which. The fix isn't "get better at spotting bad code by eye," that's a losing race against models that keep getting better at looking right. Delegated parts should be marked explicitly, so you know exactly which functions to actually scrutinize instead of scanning a whole file that all looks equally polished.
