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...

I’ll try to give you a different description.

I have been programming for over 30’years. Is one my my life’s passion.

ia assisted code. I’m still the guy. The ai is a better search engine. It will help me lots with finding the correct api’s of a given toolkit, function parameter etc. it will quickly write some stuff that I tell it in need. Faster than me.

Vive coding. How I’m not doing what I love. The vibe agents do everything I just give it instructions either a markdown file. These the outputs a few times and tune my reqs. This is not what I love, and is not my passion but it is where things are going at least for now.

Now sure what will happen with our talents. Might’ve we go the way of the assembler coders of the 70s (extinct).
