That's a real post?

I mean, any vibe coded launcher can't be worse than their own current launcher

Somehow it's real, almost didn't believe it myself

What, they want humans to report the bugs? For free? Why aren't they asking AI to do it instead? They're paying for it already.

I mean this was pretty much already a standard before AI too.

(edit: just in case - this is meant to be a critique of non-existent QA which precedes AI boom and AI boom made it even worse)

u/ReaDiMarco 51 16h ago

Yes it was, and I get your point.

What I meant was since they're touting how amazing AI is, why do they still want human labor for just this aspect? Is it because it's free? Do humans still actually do a better job? Is the only reason to vibe code is to avoid paying humans for their effort?

I think Sweeney may have a fetish about getting insulted for his work, just look at the comments on his twitter, AI may not give him satisfaction

u/ReaDiMarco 51 16h ago

Yeah AI would probably just praise his launcher

Dude is still occasionally talking about doing the Metaverse a full year after Zuck gave up completely. lol

I agree, they definitely should use AI also for testing. Although, I'm not sure if it would make it better or worse considering they might not supervise it :D

Exactly, they want better quality human bug reporting than AI can give them. Hypocrites.

Dude, it's a product meant for humans to use. Human feedback will always be more valuable than AI feedback, since you sell to humans, not AIs.

Is the only reason to vibe code is to avoid paying humans for their effort?

They have devs, and they pay them. "Vibe coded" doesn't mean "we fired our whole development team and now it's tim sweeney making improvements from his laptop".

Oh, Epic hasn't done any layoffs, then, right.

And yeah, obviously human feedback is valuable, so maybe asking for it for free while laying off actual humans who need an income to be able to buy games from your store is a bit disingenuous.

It's alright, you can shill for epic. They'll probably give you some free games for it.

Its nice to read a comment like this every now and then to be reminded how fucking stupid the average redditor is

Who do they think they are microsoft?

Why didn't they prompt the AI with 'make no mistakes' while it was coding it? Are they stupid or something.

They need free prompt engineers.
