I think you hit the nail on the head. This is a new VibeCodeBro culture where people are putting out a lot of media content about "building is easier than ever now and its a gold rush", "you can have the agents work for you while you're anywhere", etc. And they will make a lot of money from social media ads or pimping their courses or idea lists, etc. Its very similar vibe you saw with drop-shipping, and other "passive" income content, granted the VibeCodeBros aren't claiming its passive but the vibe online from content creators is very similar.

Most of the AI output I get is mediocre and needs human reviews, UI touch-ups, refactors, etc. There could be a strong case for AI slop cleanup businesses soon.

Oh, that's been a thing for a couple years now. Going in and fixing vibecoded projects, especially shit produced in the early goldrush, seems to be a burgeoning industry. Funny thing is, the fixer is probably vibe coding, just with better models. Which might be perfectly cromulent depending on how good they are at whipping that mule team.
