Is this a serious thing? If so, I'd like to know where I can purchase the wasp meat required to make this recipe: https://www.recipeninja.ai/recipe/r_NYrbOKZEyqrp7r/wasp-meat...

How about some dog sashimi? https://www.recipeninja.ai/recipe/r_I7a0kQHzgSexi8/dog-sashi... Maybe a human brain? https://www.recipeninja.ai/recipe/r_A6EsANYZ4uce2n/human-bra...

What is "vibecoded" supposed to mean?

It's a newish term that I have understood to mean coding by letting the AI do nearly all the work, just telling it what you want done in broad strokes. If the code returned seems to "vibe" with what you're trying to do, then accept it.

Contrasted to AI assisted coding, where you would give much more detailed prompts with technical specifications, and read over every line to make sure you understand it before accepting a response.

In theory, vibe coding can let someone with very limited technical expertise build complete apps, so understandably a lot of people are excited by it.

In practice, it doesn't seem like we're there yet. But each new step in AI development leads to people trying again, and it's hard to deny that the results are getting better. I think we're at the stage of where AI image generators were a few years ago. Very much in the uncanny valley.

Is the key feature here just the voice control? I’m wondering what you feel is missing from other popular recipe websites/trackers, and why I would choose to use this over something with more care put into it. Or, was this mostly just an exercise in engineering/testing AI?

Hands-free voice control and being able to access recipe ingredients and steps without 5 pages of SEO-optimised prose.

They just haven't done the "now monitise it" step in the vibe-coding journey.

with all respect to the man himself, not sure tom blomfield needs to think about that part..
