今年的年度词汇“vibe coding”与2024年BRAT有关联,都是人工智能领域的词。
氛围编程(vibe coding)是一种利用人工智能将自然语言转化为计算机代码的新兴软件开发技术。
Vibe coding, an emerging software development that turns natural language into computer code using artificial intelligence, has been named Collins' Word of the Year 2025.
氛围编程这个词由特斯拉前人工智能部门总监、OpenAI创始工程师安德烈·卡帕西(Andrej Karpathy)创造,用于描述人工智能如何使人在创建新应用程序时能够“忘掉代码的存在”。
Vibe coding is a term used to describe how artificial intelligence can enable someone to create a new app while being able to forget that the code even exists.
自2月首次出现以来,柯林斯词典编纂者观察到该词使用率激增,因而将其选为年度词汇。
柯林斯词典总经理亚历克斯·比克罗夫特表示:“选择‘氛围编程’作为年度词汇完美捕捉了语言如何与科技同步演进。这标志着软件开发的重大转变,人工智能正在让编程变得更平易近人。”
The selection of vibe coding as Collins’ Word of the Year perfectly captures how language is evolving alongside technology. It signals a major shift in software development, where AI is making coding more accessible.
“人类创造力与机器智能的无缝融合,展现出自然语言如何从根本上改变我们与计算机的互动方式。”
