I asked Replit to “clone LinkedIn” — just to see how far it would get with a single prompt. The result? A surprisingly functional prototype. It’s a powerful reminder: with the right framing, today’s AI tools can turn a single idea into working software.
That’s not an idea, it’s an existing product.
Disruptive 😂
Replit, Cursor type solutions have really given the power proof of concept to a lot on non techie people, to quickly bring ideas to life. However, a question still remains how feasible is it really to run such AI generated code in production as a production grade system? Would a bank want AI generated code doing real financial transactions or even back office settlements of funds at the end of the day? Human in the loop and making sure Replit, Cursor type tools make vulnerable code injection impossible are some things to keep in mind.

3moReid Hoffman I vision a future where typing a prompt into a humanoid 'Clone Reid' could bring a virtual avatar of you right beside us, packed with the founders insights. That day would not be that far.
