Where Are the Vibecoded Photoshops?

The author argues that accusations of "vibecoding" (using AI to create work without genuine effort) lack evidence and have become a harmful social weapon used to discredit creators who use AI in their workflow. He challenges accusers to point to a single example of complex, functional software created through simple AI prompting—such as a vibecoded Photoshop or compiler—noting that no such examples exist, proving the accusation is based on feeling rather than reality. The author contends this pattern silences the next generation of creators and mirrors decades-old gatekeeping tactics, just with new terminology.
