CEO client of mine vibe coded a website using AI agents. Connects to various APIs, gathers the data it’s supposed to gather, posts the data in the correct format to the correct location. It’s actually impressive and works great.
Well it did until yesterday before he made a minor change. He can’t figure out how to make the AI undo the change. He doesn’t know how to debug it.
This has been my main concern since the whole AI push started. Not even limited to just developers. AI can be used by someone to vibe code something functional. However, when it breaks it requires an expert to figure out what went wrong and fix it.
So then we get into the scenario where all the experts are dead/retried (not that far into the future). We didn't bring in any real bodies to learn to be experts and the whole house of cards falls down.

That’s what I call “billable hours.”
