Are you ready to supercharge your productivity, creativity, and problem-solving skills? Meet ChatGPT—the AI tool that’s changing how we work, learn, and innovate. Best of all, you can access it for free right from your Windows desktop!
In this tutorial series, I’ll guide you step-by-step through everything you need to know about ChatGPT: how to set it up, ask the right questions, and leverage its potential for blogging, learning, and beyond. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a tech-savvy pro, there’s something here for everyone.
Let’s dive in and discover how AI can make your life easier, more efficient, and a lot more fun!
🧭 Introduction
Recently, in February 2025, the term Vibe Coding was coined by Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI, on X. This Cloudflare article explains in technical detail what Vibe Coding is. But here, we will explore it in a less technical way, focusing on where AI might be heading in the future and the dangers it may pose.
Simplified, Non-Technical Explanation
In essence, Vibe Coding allows a user to tell AI what to code using natural language prompts instead of writing the code directly. The AI then generates the necessary code. A user with programming experience can interact with the output, adding, modifying, or transforming it to meet their needs. This approach saves both time and money — but in the future, it could also replace many coding jobs.
An Everyday Analogy
Think of Vibe Coding like hiring a highly skilled chef: instead of giving them a recipe, you simply tell them, “I want a spicy vegetarian pasta with a hint of lemon.” The chef instantly prepares the dish, and you can taste it, suggest tweaks, or add extra ingredients until it’s perfect. You don’t need to know how to cook it yourself — but if you do, you can make refinements faster. Just like in cooking, the convenience is high, but the risk is that fewer people will bother to learn the craft.
The Dangers of AI and Vibe Coding for #CyberSecurity
We have already seen that as more and more human-made applications are created (and remember — AI itself is also created by humans), #CyberSecurity issues multiply. Every application can contain coding errors, and these errors accumulate over time. Vibe Coding will be no exception, because — let’s face it — nobody is perfect.
As AI evolves at breakneck speed, some of these flaws may remain undiscovered for a long time. And until there are enough AI experts worldwide to catch and fix them, they could spread widely, even “in the wild,” before anyone notices. Hopefully that won’t happen — but given what we know from the history of technology, it is a realistic possibility.
AI and Vibe Coding in the Hands of #CyberCriminals
Of course, #CyberCriminals will not ignore such a powerful tool. Just as legitimate developers will use Vibe Coding to accelerate their work, malicious actors — and even hostile state actors — will also exploit it. With AI able to generate functional code in seconds, the time required to create and deploy malicious software will shrink dramatically.
This means cyberattacks could not only become more frequent but also more sophisticated. Instead of spending weeks or months crafting a complex exploit, an attacker could instruct an AI to produce it in hours or even minutes. This acceleration will give defenders far less time to detect, analyze, and respond.
For democratic countries, this presents a serious risk. Large-scale cyber campaigns targeting critical infrastructure, financial systems, or communication networks could be orchestrated faster than ever before. And with AI constantly improving, these attacks could evolve dynamically, adapting in real time to bypass security measures.
Even if AI-generated malicious code still contains flaws — and it will — those flaws will not necessarily make the attack any less dangerous in the short term. In fact, attackers could quickly refine and regenerate their malicious programs using AI, closing gaps almost instantly. The result could be an ongoing, adaptive threat environment where defenders are permanently on the back foot.
Conclusion
As we can see — and who is truly surprised? — every medal has its reverse. The rise of Vibe Coding is a prime example: while it offers efficiency, speed, and accessibility, it also opens the door to significant risks.
This means #CyberSecurity experts must receive specialized training not only in AI in general but specifically in emerging practices like Vibe Coding. Countries will need to invest in hiring and developing more #CyberSecurity professionals with strong AI expertise to keep pace with evolving threats.
At the same time, education systems must adapt. From the teenage years onward, students should be taught how to use AI and its derivatives responsibly — alongside a clear understanding of the risks and ethical considerations. Preparing the next generation to navigate, secure, and critically evaluate AI technology is not optional; it is essential for safeguarding both our digital and democratic future.
Call to Action
The speed at which AI is advancing leaves no room for complacency. Governments, educators, technology leaders, and #CyberSecurity specialists must work together to establish new standards, robust training programs, and rapid response systems.
If Vibe Coding and other AI-driven coding tools are to serve humanity rather than harm it, proactive action must start now. Awareness is the first step — but without decisive collaboration, we risk building a future where our own creations outpace our ability to protect ourselves.
A Small Reminder:
And you — when did you stop questioning what is presented to you as “obvious”?
Is it time to relearn how to think… before someone else does it for you?
- #ReverseTHINKing then becomes essential for regaining control over our attention, our choices, and our digital autonomy.

🧠 A Final Call:
What if we reactivated the filter between our two ears — also known as the “brain” — to get those grey cells moving again? 😉
