I may also just misunderstand the term itself. From what I've seen, "vibe coding" is used as a term for someone who does not want to go into the details, who does not want to check or adapt the code, who just wants to explain their idea to an LLM and expect a fully built feature, without doing any of the development themselves.

I myself use AI all the time, for smaller things, for more math-heavy things, for decisions I already thought about but want to check with best-practices (after all, LLMs are trained with the "hive mind" thoughts of programming). I use it as a companion, a tool akin to JetBrains refactor tools, something I can drop on a specific function to enhance my own work.
