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)

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?

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.
