The point is that no vibe coder could design an LLM without an LLM already existing. The math and tech behind machine learning is incredible, whatever you may think. Just because we can spin up new ones at will doesn’t mean we ever could have skipped ahead and built Jarvis in 2008, even if all of society was trying to do so - because they were trying.
In the fictional universe where a human could singlehandedly invent one from scratch in 2008 with 3D image generation and voice functionality that still exceeds modern tech… yeah, that person and their fictional AI wouldn’t necessarily be producing slop.
I think you missed the part where “nothing like it even existed”
so? someone invented current llms too. Nothing like them existed before either. If they vibe coded with them they’d still be producing slop.
Coding an llm is very very easy. What’s not easy is having all the data, hardware and cash to train it.
