This is why you should not install any of the vibe coded apps that get advertised in here regularly. You’re just creating a liability for yourself.

I make all my own slop apps now. Bespoke crappy solutions for bespoke crappy problems. Abandmont rates are up, I can attest
I’ve found LLM’s to be pretty decent at writing one-off scripts for boring tasks. “Baby wipe scripts.” Use them to clean up the shit and throw them away.
Yeah same. I make loads of little things to bodge my own problems but would never be moronic enough to try and capitalise on something that took 60mins to make.
Exactly. Oh I have this small problem, or solution I want to solve. Great I can put something together quickly and move on with life. I am not selling it, and it’s not even needed for ‘open source’ because its often incredibly niche problems that I am trying to solve for, that I wouldn’t be able to do elsewise.
I like Cory Doctorow’s take: AI is good for single-use, personal code to solve an immediate problem, and terrible for long-term, production projects. I imagine there’s a bunch of neophytes out there who use AI to create their first project, find out that github exists, and thinks someone else must be having the same problem they just solved, so why not release it to the public?
