A precondition to making this conclusion applicable is that the 
commonly used LLM AIs were a tool. However, the usual relation 
with the human that they provide their assistance to resembles 
rather that of a commissioned freelancer than an utilized tool.

In my humble experience, most vibe coding these days evolves 
around the pattern of having AI write the source code — 
potentially with assistance of a human supervisor —  instead of a 
human developer consulting AI for assistance.
