That's why code reviews exist.

Again, code reviews by what? Humans, and human created algorithms? Sure, that'll work for a time, but the progress is so far exponential. Meaning the latest LLMs (or newer forms of AI chatbot) will produce highly problematic code that not humans nor the best code checking algorithms can check.

And sure, LLMs are human made too, but for how long? There's an absurd myriad of problems that this process introduces. There is an existing security standard, security via obsolescence, that is actually relevant here. Use known good security standards instead of relying on the slop machine to half-

ass both your job and your company's security. The more vibe coding happens, the more obscure the old standards become, and the more secure by extension.

You seem to be fixated on vibe coding. Not all coding with an LLM is vibe coding.

You are bringing up valid concerns, and there are measures that can be put in place to address what you have mentioned.

You are so unwilling to accept that computers can come up with things nearly if not entirely incomprehensible to humans it's funny.

They absolutely can come up with things people don't understand.

That's when it gets bounced in a code review. In a responsible org, code doesn't go in production unless it's reviewed, and the reviewer understands it.
