AI Definitions: Vibe Coding

Vibe Coding – An LLM generates code that meets the specifications stated in the user's prompt. This is not the same as software development, where the user reviews the AI coding and can explain it. This type of coding uses natural language to communicate desired outcomes. Vibe coding platforms would include Claude Artifacts, Creator Hunter, and Cursor. While the goal is a finished product, in practice, this approach entails risks, such as hidden bugs and subtle security issues. Some degree of human oversight and refinement is still needed for most LLM-generated code outcomes to become production-ready.
