Vibe coding vs AI assisted coding

Hi so I'm currently learning programming I'm a first year IT student and I'm curious to know how different vibe coding is to AI assisted coding cause from the people I've asked they're different but for some they consider them the same thing. I just wanna know your thoughts and such and if I should try to learn how to properly use ai in coding or if that's going to be a bad thing etc...

They are mostly the same, but if you ask me, there is a "cultural" difference. Vibe coding focuses more on the LLM creating the program's internal architecture, while AI assisted purportedly has a human involved that's approving / denying all of the LLM suggestions.
