Sounds like you were a bit traumatized, I can see how clippy could become the stuff of nightmares!

Recently I've been playing with webgl, Three JS, SVG and CSS animations - it's all so accessible with AI coding that one's creativity naturally becomes the main thing. Sometimes even vibe coding on my phone - it's a lot of fun, and so yes I'm sure we're also going to get a lot more annoying stuff that gets in the way.

You're not entirely wrong, though I was also playing it up a little. Meant to be read more like a standup comedy bit, some part honest opinion and some part exaggeration. Someone told me a long time ago that laughing at my own jokes isn't funny, and ever since, nobody including me is ever quite sure how serious I am or not. :)

I'm not so opposed to vibe coding as recreation. Though if you're ever interested, those are all pretty easy and fun things to work with directly in my opinion, at least at hobby scale. Well, maybe not bare webgl, but that's why three.js is in the list.

AI sure does it a lot faster than I can though. I totally get your point that it lowers the bar to entry, and that the speed and near-instant mutability is more conducive to creativity. I'm more opposed to the semantically inscrutable term "vibe coding", but it seems pretty well entrenched already.
