I don't understand the workflow of having multiple new bugs everyday that need fixed. Is there bad code being shipped? Are there 1000 devs and it's just this persons' job to fix everyone's bugs? Is this an extremely old and complicated codebase they are improving? Not trying to be snarky - I just don't understand how every day there is new bugs that are just error messages.

If there are new bugs every day that need fixed is the AI really good enough to know the fix from just an error?

Generally I think this happens when people don’t monitor for errors on a regular basis. People only notice if things are actively broken for customers, and tons of small non-fatal bugs slip through and build up over time.
