Article Nov 18, 2025 AI-generated fun with vibe coding, math and physics (part 2) I’ve been experimenting with vibe coding, math and physics with the artificial intelligence (AI) assistance from Grok. I find the topics that we're exploring very interesting, but that alone wouldn't make me dedicate too much time and effort to this project (I'm not detail-oriented). Rather, I want to test the performance of today's AI on things that I know well enough. Giulio Prisco 8 min read
