Counterpoint: a friend of mine who's not a developer has vibe coded multiple apps. They work just fine. Granted they're not particularly complex (e.g. domain specific CRUD type apps) - but clearly the skills required to do that are just "ability to talk to the AI" - in other words, everybody can do it.
You could also copy paste large blobs of code from stack overflow 'back in the day'.
The baseline of what you can do without being an expert has jumped significantly. My claim is that the baseline of what you can do being an expert has also jumped significantly.
