That is a bit ... overblown. If you establish an interface, to a degree you can just ignore how the AI does the implementation because it's all private, replaceable code. You're right that LLMs do best with limited scope, but you can constrain scope by only asking for implementation of a SOLID design. You can be picky about the details, but you can also say "look at this class and use a similar coding paradigm."

It doesn't have to be pure chaos, but you're right that it does way better with one-off scripts than it does with enterprise-level code. Vibe coding is going to lead people to failure, but if you know what you're doing, you can guide it to produce good code. It's a tool. It increases efficiency a bit. But it also don't replace developers or development skills.
