I really like the description of AI coding as 'custom stack overflow generator' because it really sells the flaws as well, to an experienced dev. We go to stack overflow for help with some weird quirk of a language or find an obscure library that solves our specific need.

I think vibe coding is cobbling together a project from a bunch of stack overflow posts -- and they only use the question part of the post.
