Yes, lacking for the expert.

To the non-expert, probably acceptable, even impressive.

That is precisely my point. The non-expert won't know what is missing and will be impressed, and there might be a price to pay. How would you like to trust your data to my vibe coded database, safety to my vibe coded mechanical designs, and health to my vibed up diagnosis?

What I'd said: it just feels like so much harder for a human's design to feel valuable now

I'm talking about competition; being valuable within a market; being seen as useful by others.

Maybe my focus on competition wasn't well communicated but you're making a precise but irrelevant point about personal integrity.

Maybe I misunderstood. I agree that not all buyers may appreciate the difference, and experts should educate them. Sometimes the price of their ignorance will educate them too.
