And extremely buggy, and impossible to debug, and does not accept or fix bug reports.

AI is like an extremely enthusiastic junior engineer that never learns or improves in any way based on your feedback.

I love working with junior engineers. One of the best parts about working with junior engineers is that they learn and become progressively more experienced as time goes on. AI doesn't.

People need to decide if their counter to AI making programmers obsolete is "current generation AI is buggy, and this will not improve until I retire" or "I only spend coding 5% of my time so it doesn't matter if AI can instantly replace my coding".

And come on: AI definitely will become better as time goes on.
