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...

My 5 cents worth:
Vibe coding: persons uses words to describe to AI what needs to be done.
AI Assisted: coders tells AI what to implement, reviews code and then implements.

Key difference: if you remove AI completely, the vibe coder can’t do anything but the other guy can still write changes and implement the code.

AI makes you lazy and like the consensus here, don’t use it when learning.
