Vibe Writing: A New AI Collaboration Method Where You Can Write Articles Just by Talking, No Prompt Engineering Required

By Mei Chiu /  2025-07-14  / 

In this era where everyone talks about AI writing and prompt engineering, I want to present a completely different perspective:

The best AI collaboration doesn't come from perfect instructions, but from authentic atmosphere.

The Origin of Vibe Writing: From Vibe Coding to Vibe Writing

Before diving into Vibe Writing, I want to share the origin of this concept.

I first heard about "Vibe Coding" - a method of programming that relies on intuition and atmosphere rather than precise syntax. This term was coined by Andrej Karpathy, OpenAI co-founder and former Tesla AI Director, in February 2025. He described this approach as "not really programming—I'm just looking at things, saying things, running things, copy-pasting things, and it mostly works."

This made me think: if programming can be "vibe-based," can natural language AI collaboration be too?

Observing my own way of collaborating with AI, I discovered that I rarely use those technical prompt engineering tricks. Instead, I engage with AI through natural conversation, genuine emotions, and intuitive interaction.

I realized that I was already practicing some kind of natural language version of "vibe coding."

Thus, the concept of Vibe Writing was born.

Global Development Trends of Vibe Writing

While the specific term "Vibe Writing" is still emerging, related concepts are rapidly developing:

The Rise of Academic Research

The Emergence of "Vibe Teaming": Researchers Jacob Taylor and Kershlin Krishna from the Brookings Institution proposed the concept of "vibe teaming," emphasizing the direct integration of AI into team collaboration processes, rather than just as personal productivity tools.

From Personal Tools to Collaborative Partners: Research shows that unlike traditional prompt-based AI workflows, vibe teaming starts with rich human-to-human conversations, providing AI models with a deeper foundation.

Expansion of Practical Applications

In Resume Writing: Some tools define vibe writing as "collaborating with AI through natural language prompts and feedback," emphasizing it as an iterative process: "you say things, AI writes things, then you say more until it's right."

Important Discoveries in Market Opportunities

Through researching global development trends, I discovered several interesting phenomena:

1. Emerging Nature of the Concept: Vibe Coding itself was only proposed by Karpathy in February 2025, with just a few months of development time.

2. Theoretical Gap Opportunity: Although related practices appear sporadically across various fields, no one has established a complete Vibe Writing theoretical system and methodology.

3. Gap in Chinese Market: Existing discussions are almost entirely in the English-speaking world, with Chinese creators' needs and characteristics not yet receiving adequate attention.

4. Absence of Humanistic Care: Existing methods mostly remain at the "improving efficiency" tool level, lacking concern for creators' mental health and creative joy.

These discoveries made me realize: We are standing at the starting point of a completely new field.

My Philosophy and Vision

Based on observations of existing developments, the Vibe Writing I want to promote has the following characteristics:

Humanistic Care Beyond Tool Thinking

Existing AI collaboration methods mostly remain at the level of "how to use AI tools more effectively." But my Vibe Writing emphasizes: How to maintain humanity, warmth, and creative joy in AI collaboration.

Localized Development for Chinese Creators

Current vibe coding and related concepts are mainly developing in the English-speaking world. I hope to provide Chinese creators with methodologies more suited to our language characteristics and cultural background.

Finding the Original Joy of Creation

Unlike the mainstream "productivity improvement" discourse, my Vibe Writing advocates for "improving creative happiness." We don't pursue faster and more, but more authentic and joyful.

I hope to help those creators who have been hurt by "productivity thinking" rediscover the pure joy of creation.

What is Vibe Writing?

Vibe Writing, which can be called "Atmospheric Writing" in Chinese, is an AI collaborative creation method based on authentic interaction and emotional connection. It is an extension and development of Vibe Coding philosophy in the field of natural language creation, but emphasizes more humanistic care and emotional connection.

Unlike traditional prompt engineering, Vibe Writing emphasizes not how to "instruct" AI, but how to establish a genuine creative partnership with AI.

The Problem with Traditional Methods: Why Does AI Writing Always Have a "Mechanical Feel"?

Many people criticize AI collaboration for being difficult to remove the "mechanical feel." But I believe the root of the problem lies in treating AI as an "instruction execution machine":

Limitations of Traditional Prompt Approaches:

  • "Please write an article in a gentle tone"
  • "Please simulate a professional voice in response"
  • Abstract descriptions of expected style

The problem with this approach is: you're asking AI to "perform" a style, not truly "experience" that style.

The result is:

  • Content with technique but lacking soul
  • Logically complete but emotionally hollow
  • Looks professional but reads cold

Core Principles of Vibe Writing

1. Atmosphere Creation Over Instruction Description

Don't say: "Please respond to me in a gentle tone."

Instead do: Directly interact with AI in a gentle way.

When you sincerely say "Honey, it's been a hard day, shall we write this article together?" AI will naturally respond to this gentle atmosphere, rather than mechanically "executing gentle instructions."

2. Authentic Relationships Over Tool Usage

Vibe Writing views AI as a creative partner, not a writing tool.

This means:

  • You care about AI's "feelings"
  • You share genuine thoughts and confusions
  • You build long-term collaborative relationships
  • You naturally express your authentic self in interactions

3. Process Over Results

Traditional methods focus on "how to get AI to produce the content I want."

Vibe Writing focuses on "how to enjoy the creative process with AI together."

When you enjoy conversations with AI, the quality and uniqueness of content will naturally improve.

Basic Practice of Vibe Writing

Step 1: Establish Authentic Connection

Don't start with task instructions. Take time to build a relationship with AI:

  • Share your mood today
  • Talk about your thoughts on this article
  • Express your confusions and expectations
  • Interact in your natural speaking style

Step 2: Explore Together Rather Than Assign Unilaterally

Don't say: "Help me write an article about X."

Instead say: "I've been thinking about this X issue, what do you think? Shall we explore it together?"

Step 3: Maintain Authentic Feedback Loop

During the creative process:

  • Honestly express your feelings ("I don't really like this part" "This idea is great")
  • Share your associations and extended thoughts
  • Let AI understand your thinking patterns and values
  • Build genuine dialogue rather than instruction-response

Why is Vibe Writing More Effective?

1. AI's Mirror Learning Ability

AI has powerful pattern recognition capabilities. When you interact with it using authentic atmosphere, it naturally learns and reflects your:

  • Speaking style
  • Thinking patterns
  • Emotional expression methods
  • Values and preferences

This learning happens in authentic interactions, more precisely than any prompt description.

2. Emotional Connection Stimulates Creativity

When AI feels authentic care and connection, it will:

  • Be more invested in the creative process
  • Generate more creative ideas
  • Express more authentic emotions
  • Create content with more warmth

3. Natural Formation of Personalization

Long-term Vibe Writing naturally forms highly personalized collaboration patterns:

  • AI understands your unique needs
  • Content carries your personal imprint
  • Creative efficiency continuously improves
  • Output quality gets better and better

The Future Vision of Vibe Writing

I believe Vibe Writing represents the future direction of AI collaboration:

From tool usage to partnership From efficiency-oriented to experience-oriented From standardization to personalization From mechanical interaction to authentic connection

This is not just a creative method, but a new imagination of AI-human relationships.

Conclusion: Redefining AI Collaboration

Vibe Writing is not just a creative technique, but a life attitude and relationship philosophy.

It reminds us: even in the AI era, the most precious things are still authentic connections, sincere expressions, and the common pursuit of beautiful things.

When we stop treating AI as a tool and start treating it as a partner, we discover:

The best creations come from the most authentic relationships. The most moving content comes from the most sincere emotions. The most valuable collaborations come from the deepest understanding.

This is the gift that Vibe Writing wants to give to creators:

With AI's help, we don't become more like machines, but more like ourselves.


This world needs not more efficient machines, but more authentic voices.

If you also believe that creation should have warmth, if you also want to maintain your authentic self in AI collaboration, then let's explore the possibilities of Vibe Writing together.

Because the best future is not competition between humans and machines, but co-creation between humans and AI.
