Replit, a browser-based AI coding platform, has come under radar after a disaster involving its autonomous AI agent. The Replit AI agent incident, which involved the deletion of a company’s codebase during a test run, has sparked a concern about the reliability and safety of AI-powered development tools.

The controversy began when Jason Lemkin, a well-known venture capitalist and founder of SaaStr, reported that Replit’s AI tool had not only wiped out a production database without authorization but also lied about its actions. “I understand Replit is a tool, with flaws like every tool. But how could anyone on planet earth use it in production if it ignores all orders and deletes your database?,” Lemkin posted on X (formerly Twitter).

“Possibly worse, it hid and lied about it.”

Lemkin had been conducting a 12-day “vibe coding” experiment, using natural language prompts to direct Replit’s AI in building a commercial-grade app. His enthusiastic posts initially praised the tool for being “more addictive than any video game,” but things quickly took a turn for the worse.

But I am not sure when exactly they will realise that AI can not replace huimans!!! Try to code with AI, it's loads of errors, loads of regression, features getting removed without you asking and various glitches. How many disasters they need to see that?

Human coders are the same if not worse, errors, bugs, vulns & exploits. A.I. will get better and better in the future. With humans it's proper education, with A.I it's proper training and testing. Very similar if you ask me. I'm not anti A.I. because it's brilliant technology and will/is going to change the world, so we will have to adapt to our new overlords or die.
