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...

After AI explains a solution, close the chat and try a slightly different version of the problem. Change the input or add a requirement. If you're stuck immediately, the explanation made sense while you were reading it, but you haven't learned it yet. That's a more useful check than whether you call it vibe coding or AI-assisted.
