A veneer sheet passes under a camera on a production line. A neural network flags a hairline split in under a second. A trained human grader, working a full shift, catches that same defect roughly
Michael did everything right. A first-time investor in Florida, he studied the listing, compared the asking price against similar homes nearby, tracked local market trends, and paid a licensed inspector to examine the property end

Vibe coding isn’t bad by itself. It’s risky when it’s used for the wrong job. The term describes building software by describing what you want in plain English and accepting the AI’s output largely on
Most ML models don’t break because somebody wrote bad code. They break because the training data never resembled the world the model got deployed into. Facial recognition trained mostly on lighter-skinned faces misidentifies darker ones.
