Comment on AI isn’t ready to replace human coders for debugging, researchers say

Still it’s possible they’ll try to sell it to programmers as less work.

And is made harder for them. Because it turns out the “easy” part is not that easy to do correctly, and if not it just makes maintaining the software miserable.

Additionally, as others have said in the thread, programmers learn the skills required for debugging at least partially from writing code. So there goes a big part of the learning curve, turning into a bell curve.
