Collins Dictionary Names 'Vibe Coding' Word of the Year Amid AI Boom

Imagine computers are like robots that understand special instructions called code.

Normally, writing code is hard, but now there's a new way called 'Vibe Coding.'

It uses smart computer helpers, called AI, to understand what you say in plain language, like English, and turn it into those special computer instructions.

This makes it easier for anyone to create new computer programs or apps, even if they don't know traditional coding.

Collins Dictionary picked 'Vibe Coding' as their top word because AI is becoming super common in our lives.

They also saw other new words like 'Glaze' (fake compliments) and 'Aura Farming' (trying to look cool).

But not everyone loves AI; some people call computers 'Clankers' when they are frustrated.

Big tech leaders are sometimes called 'Broligarchy.'

People are also thinking more about health ('Biohacking'), taking breaks from work ('Micro-retirement'), and finding cooler places to vacation ('Coolcation').
