Does "vibe coding" make everyone a programmer?

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1AO9hh" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1AO9hh.jpg"/>

 Can a complete tech novice create a website using everyday language on ChatGPT?


 That's the promise, misleading for some, of "vibe coding," the latest Silicon Valley catchphrase for an advance in generative AI that some say makes computer programming as simple as chatting online.


 "You fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists," OpenAI co-founder and former Tesla employee Andrej Karpathy described in early February, in a message posted on X (formerly Twitter), using the term for the first time.


 "I'm building a project or web app, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works," he said.


 The developer and entrepreneur was referring to the new generative AI models that produce lines of code on demand in everyday language, through writing or speech.


 The concept of "vibe coding" remained confined to the AI community until New York Times columnist Kevin Roose claimed to have created websites and apps without any knowledge of programming.


 "Just having an idea, and a little patience, is usually enough," he wrote.


 The ChatGPT and Claude interfaces can write an entire program line by line on demand, as can Gemini, which launched its dedicated version, Gemini Canvas, on Tuesday.


 Other generative AI platforms specifically dedicated to coding have also made their mark in recent months, from Cursor to Loveable, or Bolt, Replit and Windsurf.


 "Maybe, just maybe, we're looking at a fundamental shift in how software is created and who creates it," said online marketing specialist Mattheo Cellini on Substack.


 "It's unlikely to make coding irrelevant, but it may change the way developers work," suggested Yangfeng Ji, professor of computer science at the University of Virginia.


 "This could lead to some job displacement, particularly for those focused solely on basic coding tasks."


 Even before "vibe coding," a downturn was being seen by some in IT employment as the first effects of generative AI began to be felt.


 The sector shed nearly 10,000 jobs in the US in February, according to the Department of Labor, and its headcount is at a three-year low.

<h2>
 Expertise needed?
</h2>

 Among code novices, many find it hard to catch the vibe.


 "People who do not have programming expertise often struggle to use these kinds of models because they don't have the right kinds of tools or knowledge to actually evaluate the output," said Nikola Banovic, professor of computer science at the University of Michigan.


 On social media, the few newbies who report on their "vibe coding" quickly complain that it's not as easy as some want to believe.


 Without mastering computing complexities like digital directories, runtime environments or application programming interfaces (APIs), it's hard to create an app that works.


 Despite his coding knowhow, Claude Rubinson, a professor of sociology at the University of Houston-Downtown, wanted to create an application for his students two years ago without tinkering with the code generated by ChatGPT.


 After a lot of trial and error, the app finally worked, but "I'm convinced it wouldn't have worked if I hadn't understood the code," which allowed him to guide the interface using the appropriate language.


 This brought home the importance of the "prompt": mastering the request submitted to obtain the desired result.


 "Programmers have certain levels of AI literacy that allows them to get what they want out of the models," said Banovic.


 Everyday users "will not know how to prompt," h warned.

AI-Driven Countryside Quest: Peasants in Rural China Embrace DeepSeek for Guidance

DIWIDA.NEWS artificial intelligence, automation, machine learning, technology, technology trends

The rural inhabitants, making up one-third of China’s 1.4 billion people, are enthusiastic about utilizing AI services.

 In China’s expansive rural areas, a DeepSeek scenario is unfolding as villagers find chatbots helpful for obtaining guidance on subjects varying from hog cultivation to crop protection.


 Due to China’s wide-ranging internet access and high mobile phone usage, the nation's rural inhabitants—who make up one-third of its 1.4 billion people—are keen on utilizing AI technologies in agriculture and daily village life following the national surge in AI uptake sparked by DeepSeek, the Hangzhou startup, through its open-source models.


 Chinese tech giants like Alibaba Group Holding and Tencent Holdings have also created user-friendly chatbots to expedite the spread of AI applications. Alibaba, which owns the South ChinaMorning Post, entered into a strategic alliance with the Zhejiang provincial government partially to address the urban-rural income disparity through the use of AI technology.

</div>

 China’s leading AI chatbots like Tencent's Yuanbao, Alibaba's Tongyi, and ByteDance's Doubao are rapidly gaining new users, even among people living in remote rural areas.


 In Jiaohe, a town in northeastern Jilin province, a village chief reached out to Tencent directly for help in promoting AI to villagers. In advertisements displayed around the town, he encouraged the townspeople to "search Tencent Yuanbao on the app store".


 Village Chief Mr. Lu informed the Post that the chatbot has seamlessly integrated into daily rural routines. Villagers leverage AI functionalities to recognize flora and fauna, examine paperwork, locate governmental aid programs, obtain agricultural and animal husbandry guidance, and create marketing content for regional online commerce ventures.


 Tencent established a dedicated task force to launch an "AI for Agriculture" initiative. According to a Tencent staff member involved in the project, features such as image recognition and voice control have greatly reduced obstacles for farming communities. Additionally, the firm adjusted its artificial intelligence algorithms to better suit agricultural requirements and worked alongside local authorities to enhance educational efforts.

<div class="image-inline-container">
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BVfW5" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BVfW5.jpg"/>
</div>

 Slogans advocating for Tencent’s Yuanbao, which incorporated DeepSeek's R1 reasoning model in February, have proliferated across rural areas of China, notably in the northeast region, igniting conversations on Chinese social platforms. “Encountering issues with identifying crop diseases?” “Consult Tencent Yuanbao.” “Worried about beginning your rural business venture?” “Ask Tencent Yuanbao.” “Facing challenges with live-streaming commerce?” “Reach out to Tencent Yuanbao.” These messages appear prominently on road signs, written in striking white and yellow letters.


 Last month, Yuanbao saw its daily active users skyrocket twentyfold in just February, according to Tencent President Martin Lau Chi-ping, who mentioned this during the firm’s recent quarterly revenue discussion.


 Alibaba’s Quark, which initially launched as both a browser and cloud storage service before being relabeled as their primary AI assistant, had accumulated 146.6 million monthly active users by February, based on statistics from China-based AI tracking platform AIcpb. Another rapidly rising AI application, Doubao, garnered 81.9 million monthly active users, whereas DeepSeek’s corresponding app managed to attract 61.8 million users during the same period.


 Local administrations are increasingly utilizing AI to enhance farming practices. For instance, in Enping—a township located in South Guangdong Province—the municipal government has implemented an AI system powered by DeepSeek. This technology alerts farmers about potential pest threats through notifications sent directly to their smartphones, as reported by the local authorities' newspaper.


 The swift expansion of AI services has fueled optimism about reducing China’s urban-rural poverty disparity, yet it has also sparked worries. This includes the dissemination of AI-created material such as convincing yet deceptive video and audio recordings, alongside speculative tools like AI-driven stock trading platforms.


 Lu, the party secretary in Jilin, emphasized the significance of educating locals on using artificial intelligence responsibly. Consequently, he intends to organize additional training sessions aimed at instructing villagers on how to critically and impartially assess AI-generated replies.


 "The surge in artificial intelligence signifies a trend toward technology democratization. It is crucial for rural regions to capitalize on this chance to close the knowledge divide between urban and rural communities," Lu stated.
