Link to the original source for the percentage, obviously embellished: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IACHfKmZMr8

Writes maybe, but how much time is spent on debugging the terrible code written for the last five percent? Connecting bits and bobs together is pretty critical towards a fully realised product, and as the interviewee in the video points out, "it's not very good at debugging", because of course it is not. Has anyone actually made an AI workflow that would allow it to debug and actually solve real business problems? The best I've seen was solving off-by-one bugs, pretty obvious ones at that.

That's also my take when I look at AI coding, but at one point I saw a startup founder is basically writing all the code with AI (although she stumbled on finding how to fix some bugs from time to time), that got me into thinking maybe using AI to code the entire codebase is not that far away from us.
