I am not surprised that there are parallels between vibe coding and gambling:
With vibe coding, people often report not realizing until hours, weeks, or even months later whether the code produced is any good. They find new bugs or they can’t make simple modifications; the program crashes in unexpected ways. Moreover, the signs of how hard the AI coding agent is working and the quantities of code produced often seem like short-term indicators of productivity. These can trigger the same feelings as the celebratory noises from the multiline slot machine.

Those AI all use dark patterns to keep people hooked. It’s literally a predictive Candy Crush or slot machine.
These are dangerous.
I’m immune because it never managed to get the programm running for me in the first place xD
yeah, I download code and it just does not compile. My environment has not the required dependencies.
I was just trying to vibe code a script mod for a game but cursor was incapable of getting a 20 line lua script right
