The AI era is putting millions of jobs at risk, even those who are in the business of coding that is relevant to how the technology works and evolves. But the pace of AI evolution also means that people are worried about getting left behind, especially if they have the know-how but are not entirely sold on the idea of AI.

New buzzwords are also part of this space, which includes AI pretty much in every corner and the latest addition to this set if vibe coding, which relates to the people who work behind the scenes to develop apps and other complex systems.

The Vibe Effect In AI

Vibe is not a term that you would associate with coding but that’s how the AI space is evolving and bringing more people into the picture. Using AI tools for coding and creating apps is becoming quite common but can it work effectively in a professional setup?

That’s where experts feel AI has a tendency to hallucinate and in fact create fake scenarios that can become damaging for the longevity of the apps. Apple has seen its repercussions when AI created fake news in its AI summary feature that was eventually disabled for iPhone users.

Are You Serious?

Many companies are pulling the plug on coders, believing that AI could help with mitigating their loss and also save the cost. We are seeing the level of application that Gemini AI, GPT 4o or even Grok AI offer to the users but how practical is their integration for serious work?

That’s where the buzzword becomes a serious subject, where people who do vibe coding for fun, are never likely to become the serious bunch, and even if they aspire to, the value of actual education and expertise will be hard to replace with AI at any point in time. Some level of coding knowledge will be essential and what AI can do is become a complimenting aspect of their workflow in the near future.
