Ask HN: Why are modern AIs ignorant or reluctant to talk about "vibe coding"?

You're not giving us any evidence of this. You're just asserting it.

Claude will happily talk about vibe coding as much as you want.

So it's neither ignorant nor reluctant to tell you about vibe coding.

It didn't know what it was at the beginning of the conversation.

To an LLM all coding it does is vibe coding.

In this case you’re asking it a closed question with a {yes, no, maybe} answer set.

It tries its hardest to give you more than that.

You’re asking a machine to have an opinion. If someone asked you that question, what would your answer be?

Think about your goals and state them more clearly.
