How many backdoors are going to be intentionally installed by vibecoding AIs?
Discussion
They usually can barely even get the front doors right.
You need better AIs :)

Is there anything better, that I can afford? 🤔
It sets up a project scaffold and a nostr feed in 10 minutes. As soon as I want build something more novel, it starts wheezing and draining my budget, so that it's cheaper and faster to just code it myself.
And the AI getting better won't solve for that. It'll just mean that I have to build even more stuff even faster. The complexity goes through the roof. It's already the case that I sometimes can't find stuff without asking AI to search for it because I'm losing track of the architecture.
Had to back off the AI, for a bit, and clean up the mess. Buggy, bloated, overly-complex code _is_ the backdoor.
precisely why this idea of AI replacing people is ridiculous
maybe they can make robots smart enough to do basic human labor that is dangerous, garbage collection, mining, but honestly, it is impossible to squeeze anything out of something that is just a distilled knowledge base that didn't already exist in the knowledgebase
They will not need back doors, but simple doors that human will not be able to understand...
1rst step they use coder code
2nd step they optimize the code
3rd step they code with their own optimized language

"If you review, test, and understand the code, it’s not vibe coding but rather using an LLM as a typing assistant." -Simon Willison
Sounds like developers will need to review, test, and understand AI-generated code before committing it OR a trusted/robust AI-kit to do the same.
Else, it's all downhill from here.

Yes.
Intentionally?
