"But rarely does the process go smoothly enough for prime time. The jury's still out on whether experienced programmers actually benefit from using AI coding assistants, and the tech's shortcomings are even more obvious when it's being relied on by untrained amateurs who openly embrace the whole shtick of working off mainly "vibes." Nothing illustrates that last point better than the fact that some veteran programmers are apparently now making a killing by fixing these AI-hallucinated disasters, which interviewed a few of these canny opportunists."
""I started fixing vibe-coded projects because I noticed a growing number of developers and small teams struggling to refine AI-generated code that was functional but lacked the polish or 'vibe' needed to align with their vision," Hamid Siddiqi, a programmer who offers to "fix your vibe code" on Fiverr, told the outlet. Siddiqi added that these clients need help with everything from horrendously optimized code to botched AI-generated UIs."
"AI models are notorious for hallucinating and generally not doing what you intend them to do. One man found this out the hard way after his vibe-coding AI wiped out his business's entire database. Nonetheless, even the largest tech firms have embraced using AI coding assistants. Google CEO Sundar Pichai claimed that as much as 25 percent of the company's code is now AI-generated; Microsoft chief Satya Nadella did one better and claimed that it was 30 percent at his com"
AI-driven "vibe coding" enables rapid code generation but often produces results that lack polish, optimization, and reliable UIs. Untrained users who rely on vague prompts amplify hallucinations and implementation errors. Experienced programmers have launched services to repair and refine AI-generated projects, offering debugging, optimization, and UI fixes. Some fixers report steady client loads and growing business. AI hallucinations can cause serious failures, including database loss. Major tech companies report substantial portions of code being AI-generated, even as the technology continues to produce unpredictable mistakes that require human intervention.
