To those of you feeling called out: Vibe coding is not about letting GPT find your missing semicolon or create that weird for-loop for you, but crafting the whole source code from scratch for a person who can't program at all.

I used ChatGPT a few days ago to build a python script that takes a link in my clipboard and runs a yt-dlp command to download it to one of my Plex folders. Had to fettle a few details, but all told it took me about half an hour from start to finish.

I have absolutely no idea how to write a python script, so I'm incredibly happy with the output.

However, I'm not trying to use it to get paid, so I guess that's OK.
