I don’t use AI tools regularly
No. I sometime use it to explain code that I don't understand, and it gives me a walk-through on what each line or logical construct does. I also sometimes ask it how to solve a problem, and it gives me a list of possible solutions that I then pick one and modify according to my own expertise before implementing/using. I have on occasion bootstrapped test cases that I have then built out according to realistic test scenarios. I use the AI output as a stepping stone to get going rather than something finished. I find the prompting chatbot type of generative AI somewhat limiting. I would like to have something more integrated in the IDE that is trained on the current code base (I'm sure it exists but we don't have access to it at my organisation). I have tried copilot but I find it more in-the-way than enhancing to my coding experience. I am not actively pursuing/exploring AI tooling. If we resort to only vibe coding, my expectation is a degradation of competence in the long run. If you don't actively train your mind on problem solving and just defer it to the AI, when you get to real problems that AI can't solve but the rest of the code base is vibe coded, I would expect it to be way harder to solve. Getting someone else's pile of code poured into your lap is always a hassle before you've stepped through it and learned the structure, I take it that vibe coded codebases will be like this everytime since AI is writing the code for you.

Knowing the whole networking-/framework-/tech-stack involved in a fullstack application. It is often fragmented between code bases, applications, frameworks, platforms and protocols and something such as copilot for one of the codebases will only have limited insight into the application, traffic load etc. Security from years of experience and full stack insight into the whole solution.
