I think AI is fine, the problem is what you mentioned: vibe coding.
Have AI do work for you, it’s certainly faster in most cases. But just know exactly what it’s generating and building before putting it into production. That’s not some massive bar to surpass.

I am constantly confused at work that people see AI as binary: it’s either a person writing the code and taking ownership of it, or it’s AI and the poor person has no control. It’s rather bespoke or entirely vibe coded. Why? When I use AI it’s still me writing the code, I just get better autocomplete and a tool that can verify my changes using fuzzy sentence as the linting rules. Why did so many people just immediately assumed that it all must be vibe coded now? Maybe it’s because everyone hates reviewing code they didn’t write?
