It is cruel. Full stop. Using LLM doesn't change that an app must be yested
and vetted. It doesn't excuse rudeness.

Also using an llm isn't necessary vibe coding. I've produce a large amount
of high quality with claude assistance in various ways. Vibe coding has
extremely negative connotations and no real definition so it's not a useful
characterization to have a useful discussion. So in addition to being rude,
it doesn't tend to promote thoughtful dialog.
