    that happens across all technological industries. when cars first became available, hsnds were needed to build them. nowadays most of it is done by robots. clerical workers were replaced by computers. and now “artificial intelligence” machines are trying to replace artists and writers, editors, and managers. unfortunately, the people that do those jobs are not just going to keel over and disappear. at what technological point do we stop and say thats enough? there has even been talk of replacing ceos with ai. are shareholders next? nobody will be able to buy those products anymore either

      nowadays most of it is done by robots.

      The difference is that the robots are actually better at reliably making cars than the humans were. Vibe coding very much does not produce better, more reliable code.

        The machines are better at repeating a task with no down time but even then quality will degrade. That is why quality verification exists.

        Hand made cars - or anything, by extension - are so expensive because of the human attention going into it. A specialized worker, technician, engineer, etc, makes sure their job is the best because they are specialists at what they do.
