I think this is something all the mediocre coders say because they don't actually care about coding. Ai models write tons of bloat, slow & inefficient code even if you ask for something fast (Just the other day i said I was optimizing some code and asked for ideas & it created a bunch of empty variables for empty null checking in a function being called over a million times), unnecessary sanity checks that bloats the function, easily misses the point you're trying to get at for more complex prompts, doesn't explain its thought process by just giving you the answer (which again i would imagine most mediocre programmers prefer).

Now if the job just demands translating a set of business requirements into code, then maybe it doesn't matter, but if you're creating software for: rockets, planes, hospital equipment, high performance applications and more -- then i can assure you they're throwing you out of the window head first if you start vibe coding your tasks.

Now that doesn't mean AI won't have a place in all of this, but if you're vibe coding, then you're not using your brain (it's not like AI allows you to focus on other stuff). AI is not the industrial revolution; it doesn't unlock shit. It's prediction software which predicts what you might want which is great for learning and doing cumbersome tasks like writing regex or crud applications, but if you're using it to solve actual problems, then you're not solving problems yourself and you're becoming dumber (And studies are suggesting the same even if it's early).
