Re: “Vibe coding”
I’m thinking thats not gonna work out well. I recently saw a guy talking about a mass of code he asked AI to generate that “looked beautiful”, but was completely nonfunctional. Unfortunately, I can’t find it now, but I did find these tales of woe:

AI doesn't make devs as productive as they think, study finds
A new study raises serious questions about how perceptions of AI assisted productivity translate into results.

The reports we've gotten first and second hand from former students and folks interviewing and colleagues in the field is that a bunch of companies want prospective programmers to be able to describe how they use AI tools to help them be productive. Also that a bunch of companies make them cold code things to prove they can do it without AI. I think doing both feels prudent to me.
In my data/stat classes the students have pretty much always been allowed to talk with each other about the homework problems (but not just copy each other's full work), and I tell them they should cite books or webpages appropriately if that's where they grabbed something from. For AI I now ask them to disclose how they used it and that just like working with a classmate having it do the whole problem isn't allowed. Warned them about how easy it is to tell on exams when folks just used AI (or a friend) on the homework and briefly discussed the limitations of the AI answers and the ways and reasons it will sometimes spew forth wrong things. I also down weighted the part of the grade due to homework a bit more.
