Are they easily verified though?
I have a bunch of people who are "vibe coding" in non-dev departments. It's amazing that it allows them to do things they otherwise couldn't, but I don't think it's accurate to say it's easily verified, unless we're talking about the most trivial tasks ("count the words in this text").
As soon as it gets a bit more complex (but far from "complex"), it's no longer verifiable for them except "the output looks kinda like what I expected". Might still be useful for things, but how much weight do you want to put on your sales-analysis if you've verified its accuracy by "looks intuitively correct"?
