>The vast majority of new software is written using AI. The problem is not that it is written by AI

How on earth does this follow? It's common, so it should be accepted without scrutiny?

>The problem is not that it is written by AI, but rather than some people treat it like a black box.

Yes, and guns don't kill people. Obviously the issue has two facets. It would be irrational to say "AI is flawless" or "humans are flawless".

Allowing genAI code does not imply blindly trusting genAI code.

>as long as it's managed properly.

Correct. Hence the issue. This was vibe-coding by even the strictest definitions of the term. Vibe-coding is, by definition, not "properly managed".

You are referring to black-box coding, not vibe-coding. There is no strong formal definition of that word. Is there evidence that they just fired off the LLMs and didn't review or test the new bun code?
