There is also the 'jagged frontier' that can throw you off. The AI will solve hard problems for you, and you think, "Wow, it is more useful than I thought," and then it gets absolutely stumped on a simple problem: completely stuck and unable to continue. If you are not a developer yourself, but just a vibe coder, you will be stuck there with your AI, with no solution.

    That's because the answers to hard problems show up often in the training data, whereas simple problems might not ever make it to any documentation since the solution just takes reasoning from what's in the manual.
