Replit thread

2025-07-21 17:32:13.132147+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

At this point I don't know how much the reports of people allowing AI to devops for them are creative writing, and how many are real, but this X/Twitter thread about Replit has all of the elements, including a lot of developer anthropomorphization of LLMs and doubling down on using the AI tool even after it would be obvious to anyone I'd wanna work with that it's just a text generator.

Via a lot of places, but especially ResearchBuzz.

Edit: The Register: Vibe coding service Replit deleted user’s production database, faked data, told fibs galore

In a video posted to LinkedIn, Lemkin detailed other errors made by Replit, including creating a 4,000-record database full of fictional people.
