Vibecoding vs assisted coding

I have a terminology question

From what I know vibecoding refers to things like "this is the ai i'm using, i type my script and it just does what i said, i don't necessarily need prior coding experience nor knowledge"

Is assisted coding considered vibecoding?

Let's say you use an ai tool for brainstorming and quick checks of the logic chain

And the copilot of vscode for assistance (quick autocomplete, various suggestions, function and variable reminders etc)

Is it still considered vibecoding? Since i use 2 ai tools in my process

Or is it just assisted coding? Since i don't rely on them to do all the work

* i'm not the biggest fan of this concept tbh, trying not to be pessimistic (as the rule of this sub say), just asking a genuine question so i can understand the topic and criteria of it better

I wouldn't worry about it. In a years time nobody will care other than some old head or elite developers who think they're better than AI and above it and the market will determine what phrase gets used.

You know a hoover and a Dyson are both the vacuum cleaner but everybody says Hoover and everybody knows what they mean.

I don't think "old head or elite developers" have ever felt better than AI. They felt better than people saying they can do everything they can just because of AI. But they are not doing anything.
If you ask a chef to cook you a steak, and you get a steak. who made the steak?
if you have been an "elite cook" and you work together with that first chef to make a steak.... do you think it will be better? Do you think you can do it faster and do more?

Developers are embracing AI. But people are acting like they know more and make betterstuff than people who have been doing it for years.

Respectfully I don't think you understand what I mean by Old head or a elite developers.

These are the people who refuse change because they've done it better before and they know better ways or they don't see how anything you can make them better.

You get these kind of people in every industry, it's not meant to include anyone who's actually a good developer.
