There will be loads of papers and publications with fake citation. AI will be trained on these. In the end, we'll have more and more hallucinated information that true content on the internet.
I think all animals are born knowing how to walk, including monkeys and humans. However, that trait only surfaces at a later stage of their development.

I believe it's a natural evolution that occurs in all systems, including software. Every line of code you write is a liability that increases the risk of failure. The risk compounds and so does the frequency of errors.
Tiredness is a big one. I was driven by a guy who had worked nonstop for a whole weekend. It was one of the most terrifying drives of my life. I had to tell him to park and sleep outside my house, or else I would report him to Uber.
Does anyone else remember how we used to have flash light apps all over the playstore and how they quickly varnished once the feature was implement natively?
I've also had a similar experience. I have become too lazy since I started vibe-coding. My coding has transitioned from coder to code reviewer/fixer vey quickly. Overall I feel like it's a good thing because the last few years of my life has been a repetition of frontend components and api endpoints, which to me has become too monotonous so I am happy to have AI take over that grunt work while I supervise.
