And no I’m not going to name them. Also, I have programming background myself, so it’s not a blind assumption thing.
One guy even has a PhD in electrical engineering and he was accused of it.

There have been quite a number of recent plugins stemming from Audioloom's creators platform, which is more Akin to using synthedit, than vibe coding (reportedly). I wonder if folks are mistaking some of those for AI generated stuff.

There has been a flood of the same old same old plugins recently

I did a few PoCs the recent years using Protoplug/Lua, I am a professional Software Dev for decades though not for Audio Software ...
Given that: If I vibe code my PoCs now into C++/Juce and provided the results for free as FOSS ... is that regarded as despicable or suspect? I think vibe coding is a tool, but the person and the motivation driving it makes the difference.

There is definitly a plugin flood taking place. This has started bevore AI took off as it does right now.
But now i was also several times under the impression that some plugins were vibe coded. My point: these were even quite high priced (compared to what i would see as a realistic price tag vs. today (means: today, you cash in by selling in numbers)
i don`t have a problem with vibe coding as such.
I have a problem when it feels like trying "to milk the man"....and it does / ymmv
"Plugin has turned Drug now"....and the business knows it.

Recently a professional review writer for the new york times was found guilty for using AI which plagiarized another writers review of the same book: https://vibegraveyard.ai/story/new-york ... lagiarism/
IMO this is a big problem with AI. It will cite e.g. code of Open Source projects or paraphrase it and the vibe coders will sell the result, actually infriging copyright.
Also even when this might be not the case, writing a whole application by AI means you didn't do it and you cannot have the copyright.
I think AI is good for learning stuff, for letting AI explain, for discussing with AI, so to finally gather knowledge about a topic. Letting just AI do the work without having any competence yourself is not a craft, it's just poor. If you have domain knowledge but no programming knowledge it's slightly different but even then I would argue that it is be better to utilize AI to speed up learning instead of using it blindly optimistic.

This will upset some no doubt.
"The AI provided the computation, the language, the responses.
Together, you built something neither could do alone.
It’s a neat reminder that intelligence isn’t a competition — it’s a collaboration."

We use AI to find bugs and help with documentation. It's really good at that. It's also good at explaining "what's the quickest way to do this and that with this kind of data?". It can build little tools, mostly scripts, that can help make life easier. It can even implement a few nice things or refactor some code for better maintainability.
But it doesn't have ears.

What if your eyebrows are unbroken like one long line across your forehead? I might need AI to fix that for me.pekbro wrote: Sun Apr 12, 2026 9:05 pm Apparently AI can fix your eyebrows though, if they are broken presumably...

The Move Everything: Shadow UI-based environment for the Ableton Move groovebox is entirely vibe-coded. The developer has no coding knowledge.

Oh, good reason to avoid installing that into Move and break it then!
