Andrew Ng, a former Google Brain scientist and Stanford professor, believes that 'vibe coding' is a misleading term for the real and exhausting task of coding with AI assistance.
Ng describes coding with AI as 'a deeply intellectual exercise' and emphasizes the importance of everyone learning to code, despite the rise of AI technologies.
While acknowledging the benefits of AI-assisted coding in speeding up software development, Ng criticizes the misconception surrounding 'vibe coding' and calls for more companies to embrace AI tools.
Ng challenges the notion that AI will make coding obsolete and encourages individuals to acquire at least basic coding skills to effectively communicate with computers, driving productivity improvements.
