Apple isn't on the current AI hype train and as such is probably ahead of the game

That's because LLMs don't reason, they predict the next most likely word and spit it out. Human brains didn't evolve to generate text irrespective of truth. Apples and oranges.

Wow, this made it through peer review?

To be fair, if you work on a team you do often have to debug bad code written by others. But I find vibe coding similar to constantly pair programming with a junior disinclined to learn from their mistakes.

I feel about LLMs the same way I feel about airplanes: I'm going to use them if they are available, but if there was a possibility to ban them for everyone I'd vote to do so.
