The Intern Mental Model: Instead of treating AI as a 'Stack Overflow' copy-paste machine or a 'magic builder,' the speakers suggest treating it as an intern. You provide the plan and architecture, the AI executes the grunt work, and you must review the output.
The "Average" Trap: Because LLMs are probability machines, their default output tends toward the statistical mean. Without expert human guidance to push for specific, high-quality patterns, the code remains mediocre.
Contextual Decay in Vibe Coding: The flaw in 'one-shot' coding is the loss of context. If an AI generates a full app instantly, it often lacks the nuance of *why* certain architectural decisions were made, leading to errors when the user tries to iterate or debug later.
