Why do you expect AIs to learn programming, but not debugging?
1 comments

1) Debugging is much harder than writing code that works

2) AIs are demonstrably much, much worse at debugging code than writing fresh code

Ex: "Oh, I see the problem! Let me fix that" -> proceeds to create a new bug while not fixing the old one

Debugging is harder for humans, too.
