A single panel comic with a malformed, slightly damaged, yet freshly built home in the background. In the foreground, a man in a hard hat and a reflective vest is speaking to another man, presumably the buyer, saying, “It’s called vibe construction. I’m not even a contractor! Pretty soon all buildings will be made this way.”

As if people haven’t been vibe-building tiny houses and camper vans with no experience for 20 years moe
…at what point am I allowed to just start burning everything to the ground? THIS is the reality I’ve gotta live through??? Fuck that!!! Fuck AI!!! Fuck “vibes”!!! I just want to be able to eat lettuce without feeling like I’m prepping for a colonoscopy!!!
Burn it. Burn down society. Burn it all. I will not sit by as our country is presided by a pedophile rapist. Why is ANYONE ok with this???
Burn it down.
It’s interesting to me that autistics struggle so hard with emotion yet then they type this shit
This is incredibly hateful and dismissive. Reported.
Are you autistic as well?
First day on the internet?
Nah, autistics feel emotions more strongly than neurotypicals. It’s just nobody else seems to listen. :P
Vibe coding is dumb and this is funny but I also feel like it’s quite misleading. Plenty of software was messy and full of technical debt long before vibe coding was a thing. And organisations trying to plan software projects in the same rigid way as physical construction has historically been responsible for many of those problems.
Problem is that now creation of this sort of sloppy software is automated and accessible to everyone.
Meh. Joe Schmoe might make a stupid website for himself. Actual software that’s made by companies has the same responsibility they always had, they made bad software before - often so bad LLM output is better in comparison.
The first part is new the second part isn’t. Sloppy lazy poorly understood amateur code is how everyone starts after all! And to be fair also finishes.
I’d argue the extent of the accessibility is new, though. Yes, everyone can write sloppy code, but you had to RTFM or at least a basic guide to do so. With the whole agentic AI stuff this goes out the window as well.
Unrealistic, vibe coders never admit they aren’t actual programmers.
They are still missing the 5 people that will be standing around watching the work happen.
They all got laid off so one guy can not watch the work happen.
Here’s the ladder to the second floor (the first one is boiler plate for running water).
If Picasso was an architect.
Lol exactly what I was thinking. And if it were structurally sound, it’d probably actually look pretty cool.
It’d look cooler if it was designed by Dali.
I waiting for the Escher model home
And they will be selling it at the current house prices, keeping all the reduced cost to themselves.
But the market will regulate itselt. Right? Right?
Which one did they turn into an AI?
Famously bad house.
Strangling, or Goon?
Lorax house
That’s shockingly accurate to how houses are built anyway.
I work in the development department for a city where the average new-build home is about 7 million dollars. They are some of the worst-built places I’ve ever seen with a pretty facade on top.
For my experience a decent portion of construction workers are on drugs, on and off site, so it doesn’t surprise me.
There are a lot of drugs, but “stupid mistakes made while hurrying, and then not taking the time to fix them” is the #1 issue. Everyone is obsessed with hurrying, and few people recognize how mucy time is wasted by hurrying. It’s bad. I plan to build a house by myself next year, because I can’t find contractors/workers who will go slowly enough to avoid make mistakes. They just want to do more fast, crappy projects so they can make more money, which I can understand, but don’t respect.
It’s not drugs. It’s trying to build as cheaply and as quickly as possible.
“What does ‘load bearing’ mean?” “Shut up! Just use this, it’ll be good enough for the time being!”.
Gives too much credit.
It would in all likelihood have two exterior doors but neither of them would be at ground level
Well from the outside it looks something like a house. It’s only when you go inside you realize it’s all cardboard toothpicks and super glue holding it up. There’s no bathrooms or closets. Just a living room. A single room.
Someone actually did attempt to have an AI generate a floorplan blueprint for a house and it had like six bathrooms, labeled two of them bedrooms and another one had two bath tubs, no toilet, and was labeled ensuite even though it opened to … the garage. … With no garage door.
Actually I went looking for the one people were clowning on and instead I found SEVERAL MORE horrific backrooms-like fever dream layouts ._.
I thought this would be fun so I gave it a go.
Tap for A.I. slop
I asked for just a normal Australian home. Nothing too fancy.
It gave me a mansion with 4 queen sized bedrooms lol. With an alfresco. I don’t even know what an alfresco is. Also one of the bedrooms is a dungeon with no exit, and there’s a hallway to nowhere. I questioned it about this, and it did that thing like "ok ok you got me, that was just a fake one for fun. Here’s the REAL one.
To get to the ensuite, you now have to go through the laundry. And to get to the walk in wardrobe you have to go through the ensuite. Also it added like, a “sub hallway” corridor tunnel thing to the secondary bedrooms like it’s a dwarf fortress or a hotel or something. Super funny
Floor plans are one of the best ways of exposing the limitations of AI.
AI knows patterns, it knows X is found next to Y. It knows that the label X tends to go with furniture that looks like Z. But, it doesn’t know why for anything. It can’t even ask the question Y. It’s just a pattern matching and generating machine.
So, it doesn’t understand the purpose of a door, or a hallway, or a bathroom. It won’t tend to put the laundry machines in the living room because that’s not a pattern it has seen, but it’s not because it understands why that might not be ideal.
It’s actually the same with software, it has just been trained on a lot more software, so it is better able to make something that blends in and looks correct at first glance.
Ooooh.
Now I finally understand where those hotels with glass doors and walls for the toilet are coming from recently!
Perverts
It has no doors, and that brown thing is just a painting of a door in an otherwise solid wall. The windows, too.
Perfect for roadrunners with defense against coyotes.
So, I went to a movie in theaters for the first time in ages…. Apparently there’s a coyote vs acme cartoon/live action cross over that looked pretty good. Anyhow, carry on. (Meep meep,)
You give human ingenuity too much credit. AI can code a house plan even better than it can write a resume or draw a Shrimp Jesus. Architects are donezo. Disagree, downvote, scream into the sky. Nonetheless, it’s over.

This is easily the stupidest thing I’ve read all year. Thanks for the laugh.
Well, I’ll be avoiding going in any buildings an AI was an architect for, that’s for damn sure.
How many buildings that you enter have an easily identifiable architect?
If it is cheaper heck my rent is 1k usd +
Spoiler: it won’t be, and the proper buildings will cost twice as much because they’ll be in demand.
You need to install your own plumbing though because all pipes for the next two years are earmarked for data centers.
