AI engineer says he no longer trusts PII apps built by non-technical vibe coders

- The poster says they keep having “oh no baby what is you doing?!” moments with AI systems.
- They note that labs are doing a huge amount of RL for automated research loops, yet the opportunities for garbage-in-garbage-out failures are still enormous.
- In a reply, they add that they’re becoming increasingly unwilling to use apps or services that can access their PII if they suspect they were vibe coded by non-technical people.
- The core concern is trust: even deeply technical users can struggle to avoid hidden landmines, so consumer-facing AI software may be riskier than it looks.
