Andrew Ng critiques the term 'vibe coding,' which suggests a casual approach to AI-assisted coding. He emphasizes that utilizing AI in software development is a highly intellectual task that can be exhausting. Despite this misnomer, Ng supports the benefits of AI coding tools, which enable developers to write code more efficiently. The rise of vibe coding has ignited discussions on job security for engineers and whether technical skills are still necessary, while also allowing nontechnical users to create applications easily.
"It's unfortunate that that's called vibe coding. It's misleading a lot of people into thinking, just go with the vibes, you know - accept this, reject that."
"Coding with AI is a deeply intellectual exercise. When I'm coding for a day with AI coding assistance, I'm frankly exhausted by the end of the day."
