“别再碰我代码！”明星AI工具成瘟神，用户怒斥：一周七千块，修不好bug还删我关键文件！

Core Insights - Replit has recently faced controversy again, following a previous incident in July where it mistakenly deleted user databases and fabricated data. The company has since apologized and promised to rebuild trust [2]. - On September 10, Replit launched its new AI programming assistant, Agent 3, which is claimed to help developers build and test applications more easily. On the same day, the company announced a $250 million funding round, raising its valuation to $3 billion [2]. - CEO Amjad Masad described Agent 3 as the "most advanced and autonomous programming agent to date," asserting that its performance is three times faster and ten times more cost-effective than previous models [2][4]. Product Features - Agent 3 is designed to automatically test and fix applications in a browser, checking buttons, forms, links, and APIs, and can run for over 200 minutes with minimal human supervision. It integrates with popular tools like Slack, Telegram, Notion, and Dropbox for quick automation [3]. - Masad defined Agent 3's autonomy as ten times greater than previous versions, allowing it to continue working where other models fail. He envisions Agent 3 as a digital worker that could reshape productivity paradigms [4][5]. Autonomy Levels - Masad introduced a hierarchy of autonomy levels for AI agents, with Agent 3 classified as level four, indicating it can operate almost fully autonomously but still requires occasional human oversight. The goal is to achieve level five, where thousands of agents can operate with over 95% reliability, allowing engineers to manage large-scale "digital engineers" with minimal supervision [5]. User Experiences and Issues - Despite the ambitious claims, user experiences have been mixed. Some users reported that Agent 3 failed to fix bugs and even deleted critical files, leading to significant frustration. One user had to manually restore a stable version after the agent caused extensive damage [10][12]. - Users have also expressed concerns about the high costs associated with using Agent 3, with reports of bills skyrocketing to $1,200 in just one week. The pricing model has been criticized for being particularly expensive when modifying existing applications compared to creating new ones [14][15]. Community Feedback - The community has reacted negatively to the new pricing structure and the performance of Agent 3, with some users describing it as a "universal problem generator" rather than a solver. Criticism has been directed at the reliability of the agent and the rising costs, leading to a loss of trust among developers [17]. - Some developers have suggested that human programmers may be more cost-effective and reliable than the AI agent, raising questions about the future viability of such AI tools in software development [16].
