I completely disagree. Replit is at the forefront of the "build apps with AI" movement - they actively market themselves to non-coders, and the title on their homepage is literally "Turn your ideas into apps".
So it would be bit rich of them to market these tools, which happen to fail spectacularly at inopportune times, and then blame their users for not being experienced with secure code deployment practices.
I do agree we're in a bubble, and the fundamental limitations of these kinds of tools is starting to become more apparent to the public at large (not just software engineers), but that doesn't mean that we should let those at the forefront of blowing this bubble off the hook.
