It'll be around forever, because slop isn't a function of quality, it's a function of scarcity/abundance.
In the hands of a somewhat creative but skilled developer, you can create really good code with "dated" models from perhaps even 2 generations back (i.e. from December last year)
In the hands of a no-coder, you have 99.99% chance to get slop now, to get slop next year and in 200 years from now, you will likely get slop. Maybe 1:10000 will get lucky? That's the gain here, because bottom line a bad idea is a bad idea is a bad idea.
The bar for non-slop rises symmetrically to the common output of available tools1

So vibe coding isn't really about getting normal people to build stuff. You still need to know a few things about coding or architecture to have a chance at making a successful product?

Yes. Everything else is boilerplating, and that's an anti-pattern on its own.
