I’m sorry to waste so many comments complaining about how people use AI but the phrasing above sits in uncanny valley for me.
I don’t know if the culture around consumption of vibe coded apps is different and the style used to describe projects is optimal for that audience , or if the projects simply don’t have an audience so the uncanny tone is just not an issue.
I think it's hard to say one way or another. My guess is the latter, or perhaps the audience isn't even aware it's vibe coded.
I (like many other software folks) are aware of AI-isms in writing, so when I see something that it so obviously AI generated in a project, it's equivalent to a giant red waving flag.
For someone who doesn't interact with LLMs regularly? I have no idea, maybe it sounds great to them. Most non-tech folks I interact with to don't seem to have as well-tuned AI sense, whether it be image, video or text
> perhaps the audience isn't even aware it's vibe coded.
Why does the audience care if it's vibecoded? So long as it works and does the job, does it matter if the POS software was written by humans or an AI? Does it solve their problem? Does it suck less than the alternatives? Is it cheaper?
I think “uncanny” is a good way to describe everything about this tool. I can’t say really whether the app itself is on target or not, but I have a feeling that without an iPad/mobile terminal that it’s DOA anyway.
I spend a lot of time with non-tech-industry folks. Since many in the USA have low reading levels and marketing teams keep telling me to write for 6th grade reading level maybe GenPop doesn't even notice this drivel in the middle of all the other advertising drivel?

It's one of claude models.
We've seen it a lot so it' become extremely grating to us. And it's always the same speech patterns.
I really can't stand it. I don't even think it's intentional from anthropic.
I don't catch that as AI voice.
