PCMag: With "vibe coding," almost anyone can be a programmer. Just ask an AI to generate code through a ChatGPT-like conversation, and refine the output.
This technique is rapidly becoming a popular way for hobbyists to build apps or websites, but professional programmers are also using it at work. They're tapping into an ever-growing list of vibe-coding products—from big names like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Amazon, to up-and-comers like Cursor and Replit.

I hate the encouragement of vibe coding. While some AIs can be good at coding they aren't good at the problem solving part coding. While you can outline your situation without direction they really struggle to solve the problem. I think you can vibe code but you can't really expect the AI to solve the problem without assistance. We haven't achieved the point where you can ask the AI to solve a problem and it being able to solve that problem. While they can solve code for common issues. It's much more difficult for it to create code for more niche problems. Case point: I've tried AI coding in the past, one of the one things I'm less familiar with is creating a program that is able to read SQLite data. Yamaha scene files are actually stored in a abstract data format that can be read. I wanted it to create a program that could pull data from these files, and potentially even modify them automatically. At first the AI couldn't solve this problem insisting that the files that Yamaha edit generates were proprietary in nature. But when I guided it a little more explaining the format. It was then able to solve that problem. We still have a while to go before it's able to solve problems on its own.
