AI: Vibe-coded vs Engineer-Guided

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗲. : Andreas Horn @LinkedIn


Garbage in, garbage out

"Anthropic dropped their Economic Index, where they analyzed 2 million conversations across 117 countries. They found a near-perfect relationship between the sophistication of the human input and the sophistication of the AI output (r ≈ 0.925).

𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴:
AI doesn’t elevate your thinking. It reflects it:
→ Prompt with PhD-level depth, context, and constraints - get depth.
→ Prompt shallowly, with nothing but vibes - get surface-level answers.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 “𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿” 𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴:
→ They’re better at the job.
→ They have domain fluency.
→ They have judgment.
→ They can smell nonsense.
→ They know what “good” looks like.
→ They iterate instead of accepting the first shiny answer.
→ The prompt is just the wrapper.
→ The expertise is the gift."
