AI companies are unable to fix the bugs in their own text editors for years… no AI cannot fix bugs, clearly.

Doesn't matter what AI companies do, since AI companies just "move fast and break things" not caring for bug fixing but for iterating quickly on their agents. That's a business decision, not an AI limitation.

If you use AI yourself, with a focus on bug fixing and stability, you'll find that AI can fix bugs just fine.

It matters, it shows the limits of the technology, and they have all the interest to showcase how good it is (and are failing to show it can fix bugs)

They have little interest to "showcase how good it is with doing that" since (a) people already see it's good and are hooked, (b) they don't want to stop the pace of changes and fall behind on features by focusing on stability and bug fixing.

They literally could use unlimited tokens and focus on both… it's telling that they cannot.

And they are TRYING to fix the bugs, they just keep failing over and over, so your reply is entirely incorrect.

Nice try though.

If you ship updates fast, you can't just 'focus on both'. You focus on one or another, doesn't matter if you use "unlimited tokens", same way 9 pregnant women can't make a baby in a month.

>And they are TRYING to fix the bugs, they just keep failing over and over, so your reply is entirely incorrect.

That they "keep failing over and over" is a huge overstatement, it just has some bugs like other software has, so your point can be simply dismissed.

		> you can't just 'focus on both' Can you explain why not? Just spin up another agent. 9 pregnant women can do 9 babies in 9 months. This is a real question. I assure you that teams of more than 1 developer do exist, so I don't see why agents could not work on the same code. > That they "keep failing over and over" is a huge overstatement You call it an overstatement because of your religious beliefs. Unfortunately religious beliefs don't really change the fact that they keep failing in fixing their things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfYsSFY4l18
