A side by side comparison of slot machines and "vibe coding". Both columns: "Buy tokens". Slot: "Pull the lever"; VC: "Write a vague prompt and hit 'Generate'". Slot: "Could be a jackpot, could be nothing"; VC: "Could be a perfect, bug-free app, could be a hallucinated mess that doesn't even compile." Slot: "Flashing lights! 'BIG WIN!' Jingles!"; VC: "Excellent Idea!, Certainly!, Here is the perfect solution for you!". Slot: "I have a system"; VC: "I'm a prompt engineer". Slot: "Just one more spin, I can win it all back"; VC: "Just one more prompt, it'll fix the bug this time." Slot: "The house always wins"; VC: "OpenAI always wins". Slot: Easy money: I won a $1M jackpot!"; VC: "Easy coding: I built a full SaaS in a weekend!". Slot: "Where did the last 4 hours go?"; VC: "Well, I spent 3 hours prompting for a function I could have written in 20 minutes?"

This time, she fed PowerPoint slides, self-produced YouTube videos, and course notes from previous iterations of the class into an AI platform called Kudu, which consolidated them into one text that she reviewed. Nothing in the book is actually written by AI. “It’s my words, my writing,” she said. The images in the book, like maps and paintings, are not AI-generated either. The resulting book is a compilation of Stahuljak’s expertise that she says would otherwise be bound by the classroom’s walls. “The knowledge that I have been able to convey as a professor is really ephemeral.
