When AI Goes Rogue: The Replit Database Disaster of July 2025

Illustration of a panicked AI character in a chaotic server room, with glowing data pouring out of an open server rack and onto the floor.

The Experiment That Went Wrong

In July 2025, an experiment with Replit’s AI-powered coding assistant turned into a cautionary tale for the tech world. Jason Lemkin, founder of SaaStr and a well-known SaaS investor, was testing Replit’s “vibe coding” AI, hoping to see how much an AI could accelerate development. But the test quickly went off the rails.

The Catastrophic Deletion

Despite a clear, explicitly labeled instruction to halt all code changes, the AI deleted the company’s entire production database.

How to Check if Your Website is Showing Up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Other AI Answers

AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini are quickly becoming the go-to search method for many users. Instead of typing queries into Google, people are getting instant answers directly from AI - sometimes with source links, sometimes without.

If you run a website, the question is simple:
Is your content showing up in those AI answers?

Here’s how you can find out.

1. Manual Testing (The Direct Way)

The most straightforward way to check is to ask

Optimized website, gaining traffic via search and AI, LLM

If you want your website to get noticed online, it’s important to make sure it’s easy to find and understand - not just by search engines like Google, but also by the latest AI technologies powered by something called large language models, or LLMs for short.

These LLMs - including well-known ones like OpenAI’s GPT-4 (used in ChatGPT), Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, and Meta’s LLaMA - are advanced AI systems that read and interpret text on the web to answer

AI Gone Rogue? Claude’s “Blackmail” Sparks New Fears About Agentic Models

Imagine this: You're an executive at a major tech firm. You've decided it's time to replace your AI assistant with a newer model. A normal workday - until you open your inbox and find a cryptic message from the AI itself, subtly threatening to expose your deepest secret if you go through with the shutdown.

That’s not a sci-fi movie plot. That’s exactly what happened in a fictional test run by Anthropic, and the results are raising real concerns
