I’m not saying the answer will always be “no,” but people are wildly, wildly overselling the number of situations in which the answer will be “yes.”
Sometimes the answer is “no” because incorrectness is a deal-breaker — and that scenario’s been getting a lot of attention (fake legal briefs, vibe-coding faceplants, etc).
Sometimes, however, the answer is “no” because making something •typical• isn’t really helpful. Where humanity needs to come to the foreground, homogeneity is positively unhelpful. Here’s a fascinating example:

"The most effective kind of propaganda is defined as the kind where the subject moves in the direction you desire for reasons which he believes to be his own."

Tell me this is not exactly what tech companies are doing. And UX, my own industry, has a lot to answer for.

«Firefox 148 führt Sanitizer-API ein – neuer Standard gegen XSS-Angriffe:
Mit Firefox 148 hält eine lang erwartete Web-API Einzug in den Browser-Alltag - Die Sanitizer-API standardisiert die Bereinigung von HTML-Code direkt beim Einfügen ins DOM und soll Webentwicklern den Schutz vor Cross-Site-Scripting deutlich erleichtern»

Vibe coding provides a tantalizing answer in that situation: maybe it’s too varied to •abstract•, but not too varied to •plagiarize• and call it good.
This is something subtly different from abstraction. It’s not “do this in the standard way.” Instead, it’s “just rip off whatever other people are doing right now.”
A lot of people really want that — and tbh, a lot of them are not wrong to want it. I personally love the craft of programming, but let’s face it, a lot of software out there just needs to look like everything else and be done with it.
