Are they positive about it? I'm thinking about the "oh no my vibe code for haxed" thing. Those are hard to believe because the AI is just so bad, it's fairly obvious even to a non tech person that it can't possibly be trusted. Most of the chat is just "ok but now you broke the other page"

The most interesting part I think for your story is that virtually everyone I have talked to knows that lovable is for prototyping. If any production runs there it's purely out of desperation or people just forgot. Everyone knows vibe code is a liability. The stories on Twitter sound made up to me.

Lovable mostly replaced the stage of "I have a genius idea, I will pay you later when it sells". Which I think is good actually. This type of work had a 99% failure rate and thanks to AI prototyping it's now more like 98%.
