Replit is a company that provides a generative-AI-based coding tool.
User @jasonlk was enjoying using it, until the day that the Replit tool “deleted the entire database without permission during an active code and action freeze.”
Yay, vibe coding is fun!
…On a side note, the tool refers to itself as “I”, and says things like “I panicked instead of thinking.” Which may be why the user says things like “He knew.” To be clear: The tool didn’t panic, it doesn’t think, it doesn’t have a gender, and it didn’t “know” it was doing something bad. All of its claims about its state of mind are false.
