I have a lot of serious ethical concerns about AI and vibe coding. But I do recognize that there are legitimate use cases when used as a tool and not a crutch. And this one really don't seem like the end of the world here.

My concern is that the takeaway from an incident like this is that next time, devs are just going to lie and not tell anyone they used AI. They didn't have to say anything and no one would have ever known, but they're being raked through the coals for responsible disclosure.

If I was a developer, I'd just lie.

They lie anyways and don't disclose anyways because it isn't viewed positively as a whole.

Food companies don't want to disclose all the ingredients they use and calories per serving, but are required to by law. That's the direction things need to be headed.

So it sounds like your "serious ethical concerns" aren't quite so serious after all.

I think you are willfully misinterpreting me. AI is a nuanced issue, but I don't have a problem with this type of use case. And these developers did the ethical thing in disclosing, but they're in trouble for doing so.

My point is that excessive witch hunting gives developers strong incentive to white lie.
