Even when given access to tools, AI agents can’t reliably debug software.

    And presumably debugging is a lot more work as AI is just a fancy template lookup and has no idea what it is doing.

    Basically quickly generate crap code then hope you can debug it into something acceptable.

      If you want debug code, then hopefully it isn’t written by an Ai agent. Otherwise good luck (besides simple functions or code blocks off course).
