Abstract	Artificial Intelligence is transforming education by changing not only how students learn programming but also how they think, solve problems, and develop creativity. This paper explores the psychological impact of Vibe Coding, where students collaborate with AI to build software using natural language. From the perspective of a student growing up in the AI era, the study examines how AI influences attention, confidence, motivation, creativity, critical thinking, and decision-making. It also highlights potential challenges such as automation bias, overdependence, and the illusion of competence. The paper argues that the future of education lies in responsible Human AI collaboration, where AI enhances learning without replacing independent thinking, curiosity, or creativity.
