The Rise And Fall Of Vibe Coding: The Reality Of AI Slop

Something strange is happening in programming. Everyone’s talking about “vibe coding” — writing entire apps with AI instead of actually coding. It looks magical on TikTok and YouTube, but behind the scenes, it’s turning into a mess. AI-generated code is often bloated, buggy, insecure, and sometimes flat-out dangerous. It can leak passwords, make up fake functions, or skip basic safety checks entirely. And yet, big tech is doing it too. The deeper problem isn’t just bad code — it’s that no one’s really checking what the AI is spitting out. Developers are shipping software they barely understand, and the AIs building it don’t understand it either. Studies show AI-assisted coders produce more vulnerabilities, feel more confident, and fix fewer of them. Combine that with companies replacing junior devs with chatbots, and we’re setting up for a “lost generation” of engineers who can’t debug what they didn’t write. Maybe the real risk of AI isn’t sentient robots — it’s the quiet collapse of human understanding behind the code that runs everything.
