a two-column comparison chart that reads "Slots Machine vs. Vibe Coding", with an image of an online gaming graphic on the left and a bearded caucasian man with headphones on the right/

in each column, left to right:
Slots Machine | Al Coding
You buy casino chips. | You buy tokens.
You pull the lever. | You click "generate"
You might win a prize,or you might get nothing. | You might get bug-free code, or you might get nonsense that
won't even run.
Shiny lights, flashy attention-grabbing animations. | "Great idea!" "Of course!" Here's the perfect solution
prepared just for you.
"I have my own strategy." | "I'm a prompt engineer."
"One more spin! I'II win
it all back next spin!" | "One more prompt, and this bug will disappear."
The only winner is the casino. | The only winner is Claude.

AI use has been strongly encouraged around my work, but not required so far. I see people using it all the time to summarize meeting notes, but just last week i had to be in a huge email thread (on a non-work thing) to figure out the date for something because someone used AI to summarize a separate email thread and it incorrectly listed an earlier suggestion as the final decision. I sure don't want to spent the last few years of my working life editing AI slop.
