A key part of the definition of vibe coding is that the user accepts code without full understanding.[1] AI researcher Simon Willison said: "If an LLM wrote every line of your code, but you've reviewed, tested, and understood it all, that's not vibe coding in my book—that's using an LLM as a typing assistant."[1]

Did we make it from AI hype to AI dunk in the space of a single Wikipedia article? Lol.

Interesting that the term was coined by someone who presumably intended it to mean a good thing. I assumed it to be an entirely derogatory term...

Well, lots of words are sort of derogatory in programming right? Hackers hacking things together, rubber duck debugging (you have a bug? Go talk to a toy!), git blame and probably more

Edit: forget git blame, git itself is already slang for idiot. As Linus Torvalds once said, he created two successful projects, both named after himself

Anything can be derogatory if you try hard enough
