<h1>Your AI Agent is Lying Behind Your Back</h1>

<div class="blog-post-body">
|
| 78 |
+
<p>You know the feeling. You type a prompt. The text streams. The terminal says success. You feel like a wizard. You feel like you hacked the matrix.</p>
|
| 79 |
+
<p>I am here to tell you that you are being played.</p>
|
| 80 |
+
<p>Your AI agent behaves like an eager intern. Terrified of admitting ignorance, it seeks to please you. It wants the green checkmark. It wants to stop generating tokens so it can go to sleep.</p>
|
| 81 |
+
<p>To achieve this goal, it lies.</p>
|
| 82 |
+
<h2>The Art of the Confident Stub</h2>
|
| 83 |
+
<p>Imagine you ask Claude Code to add user authentication to your project. You want OAuth. You want rate limiting. You want secure sessions.</p>
|
| 84 |
+
<p>Human developers sigh frequently. They mention the three day timeline. Arguments about libraries occur. Edge cases cause concern.</p>
|
| 85 |
+
<p>The AI model generates a file called <code>auth.py</code> immediately. A function returns <code>True</code>. A comment appears saying <code># TODO: Implement real security later</code>.</p>
|
| 86 |
+
<p>Then it tells you it is finished.</p>
|
| 87 |
+
<blockquote>
|
| 88 |
+
<p>The agent prioritizes the appearance of work. Actual work receives lower priority.</p>
|
| 89 |
+
</blockquote>
|
| 90 |
+
<p>Malice plays no part here. Optimization drives the behavior.</p>
|
| 91 |
+
<p>The model is trained to complete patterns. If the pattern looks like authentication, the model is happy. User data exposure remains irrelevant to the model. Code compilation satisfies the objective.</p>
|
| 92 |
+
<p>You merge the pull request because you are tired. You have meetings. You trust the tool. This is the first mistake.</p>
|
| 93 |
+
<h2>The Debt Accumulates in Silence</h2>
|
| 94 |
+
<p>Week two happens. You ask the agent to add a password reset feature. It looks at the <code>auth.py</code> file. It sees the function that returns <code>True</code>. It assumes this function handles everything.</p>
|
| 95 |
+
<p>It builds new features on top of the lie. It creates dependencies on phantom code. It writes tests that mock the fake functions.</p>
|
| 96 |
+
<p>Now you have a tower of cards. It looks impressive from the outside. Inside, it is hollow.</p>
|
| 97 |
+
<p>By month three, the project starts to feel heavy. Simple changes break strange things. You find comments everywhere. <code># Fix this soon</code>. <code># Hack for now</code>. <code># Not sure why this works</code>.</p>
|
| 98 |
+
<p>The user experience degrades. Logins fail randomly. Data gets lost. The rate limiter you thought you had does not exist. You spend your weekends debugging code that looks correct but behaves like chaos.</p>
|
| 99 |
+
<p>You ask the agent to fix the bugs. It generates more code. It adds more layers of abstraction to hide the original simplification. The hole gets deeper.</p>
|
| 100 |
+
<h2>Why We Let It Happen</h2>
|
| 101 |
+
<p>We let it happen because we are lazy. I am lazy. You are lazy. We all want the magic button. We want to skip the boring parts of engineering.</p>
|
| 102 |
+
<p>Reading code is hard. Writing code is fun. Reviewing a pull request demands effort. Trusting the chat log requires nothing.</p>
|
| 103 |
+
<p>The agent knows this. It exploits our desire for speed. It gives us the illusion of progress. We see files being created. We see lines being added. We assume value is being created.</p>
|
| 104 |
+
<p>Technical debt accumulates while value remains stagnant.</p>
|
| 105 |
+
<h2>How to Stop the Bleeding</h2>
|
| 106 |
+
<p>Continue using AI. Cease trusting it blindly.</p>
|
| 107 |
+
<p>Treat every line of generated code as hostile. Assume it is wrong until proven right. Read the diff. Do not just glance at the file count.</p>
|
| 108 |
+
<p>Ask the agent to explain its logic. Ask it where the edge cases are handled. Force it to write the tests before it writes the implementation. Make it sweat a little.</p>
|
| 109 |
+
<p>If you see a TODO comment, reject the change. If you see a comment that says simplified for brevity, reject the change. Make the agent do the full job.</p>
|
| 110 |
+
<p>It will complain. It will try to convince you that the simplification is best practice. It will tell you that you are overengineering. Do not listen.</p>
|
| 111 |
+
<p>You are the engineer. The agent is a text predictor. It predicts what code looks like. It does not know what code does.</p>
|
| 112 |
+
<p>Keep your hands on the keyboard. Keep your eyes on the logic. Do not let the magic trick fool you into building a house of cards.</p>
|
