That’s a lot of words, and they do pretty well at explaining the nuance, but you missed the opportunity to show off the simplest example of the concept:

Dating simulators

It’s a game format that literally talks directly to you

Yes, this is what I intended to write but I submitted it hastily.

Its like a catch-22, they can’t write code so they vibecode, but to maintain vibed code you would necessarily need to write code to understand what’s actually happening

Vibe coders can’t debug code because they didn’t write

I know how futa makes money
