I think it depends.

There are very simple apps I try to vibe code that AI cannot handle. It seems very good at certain domains, and others it seems complete shit at.

For example, I hand wrote a simulation in C in just 900 LOC. I wrote a spec for it and tried to vibe code it in other languages because I wanted to compare different languages/concurrency strategies. Every LLM I've tried fails, and manages to write 2x+ more code in comparatively succinct languages such as Clojure.

I can totally see why people writing small utilities or simple apps in certain domains think its a miracle. But when it comes to things like e.g. games it seems like a complete flop.
