Photography had particularly dramatic effects on the livelihoods of painters who operated on the fringe of the mainstream. This included the portrait miniaturists, whose markets fell drastically, particularly after the introduction of the multi-pose and cheap cartes de visite in the mid-1850s. Many gave up, while others turned to colouring photos [25]. Some painters of sentimental genre scenes were also particularly affected, as a result of the profusion of readily available photographic genre works, often composed in a painterly or "pictorial" style [26]. This was sometimes due not to the public’s preference for the photographic version, but simply because a particular subject matter lost its appeal to painters and their clients once photography entered the scene [27]. In addition, the introduction of “half-tone” photography in the 1880s also initiated a slow decline in the market for newspaper and magazine illustrators [28].

Nice wall of text, which part of that says painters jobs were killed?

Or did you just read the title of the second article and not realize it’s not being literal but capturing the anxiety of the painters in the 19th century?

Yes, which was the point I was trying to convey. However it did also kill the profession of painters (the craft in art vs craft). Which might unfortunately happen to the more commercial side of music

Do you have any evidence of all these "killings" of the profession or are you just vibing?

Painting (portraits for example) as a profession largely disappeared, while art based on painting evolved (impressionism, cubism, etc) due to the camera.

My point is that photography is essentially a simulacra of reality, yet it unexpectedly created its own art form and influenced existing ones. So will the use of LLMs for generation

bopbopbop7 · 3 hours ago

LLMs will not do what the camera did. LLMs have no anchor to reality like the camera, they simply optimize for the average. A camera is a whole new medium, an LLM is a statistical construction. Sorry to burst your AI bubble. LLMs will not be the new camera, they won't be a new programming language, and they won't be the new compiler.

Depends, the camera killed painting and is a positive for art in my opinion

It's not obvious that LLM generation won't create more interesting music experiences (for lack of non-marketing speak for self curated music)

The camera did not kill painting. And how does comparing a camera to an LLM even make sense?

If your outlook is 10 years then for sure, its valid. I am not sure how you come to that conclusion logically though. At the beginning of the year we had 0 code agents. Now we have dozens, some are basically free, (of various degrees of quality, sure).

The last 2-3 months of releases have been an unprecedented whirlwind. Code writing will be solved by the end of 2026. Architecture, maybe not, but formatting issues isn't architecture.

Code writing was solved in 1997 when Dreamweaver was released.

The preferred definition of "vibe coding" is when you have AI generate code that you use without reviewing it first: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/19/vibe-coding/

Unfortunately a lot of people think it means any time an LLM helps write code, but I think we're winning that semantic battle - I'm seeing more examples of it used correctly than incorrectly these days.

It's likely that the majority of code will be AI assisted in some way in the future, at which point calling all of it "vibe coding" will lose any value at all. That's why I prefer the definition that specifies unreviewed.

I also hope that majority of the code in the future is AI assisted like it is with PostHog because my cyber security firm is going to make so much money.

Just because AI tools are involved doesn't mean it's "Vibe coding".
