The logical conclusion of this is 'the AI just solves the problem by coding without telling you about it'. If we think about 'what happens when everyone vibe-codes to solve their problems' then we get to 'the AI solves the problem for you, and you don't even see the code'.

Vibe-coding is just a stop on the road to a more useful AI and we shouldn't think of it as programming.

It "tells you about it" with code. You can still learn from the code AI has produced. It may be suboptimal or messy... but so is code produced by many of our fellow humans.
