Young people are using AI for “vibe coding,” a.k.a. building new tools without developers. With user-friendly tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Replit, anyone can now turn a simple idea into a working app without any prior coding knowledge or experience. “Vibe coding,” coined by an OpenAI co-founder, involves describing what tool or app users want in plain language, then letting AI handle the rest. For instance, young parents are using it to build bedtime story bots that conversate in cute voices for their children, while kids themselves are creating point-based productivity tools to remind them to brush their teeth, all without writing a single line of code themselves. While the process can still be tricky—sometimes requiring trial and error or help from online communities—the barrier to app development entry has never been lower. (NBC)
