"Vibe coding" allows users to describe an app idea in plain language to an AI chatbot, which writes the code and fixes errors, making software creation accessible to millions. The term was coined by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy. Tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and specialised generative AI coding assistants enable this. A Stack Overflow survey revealed that 84% of developers globally used or planned to use AI coding tools in 2025, and about 63% of vibe coding platform users are people without a programming background. However, researchers have already found thousands of security flaws and exposed secrets in publicly available AI-generated applications. The article notes that before software release, developers test reliability, security, and maintainability, but vibe coding can make it tempting to skip these steps. Software that appears to work is not always trustworthy, as even functional apps can expose sensitive data or disrupt critical systems.
