AI coding tools have improved but still fall short of fully replacing human programmers due to challenges in understanding complex codebases and long-term planning.

Why it matters: AI can't yet handle large-scale code complexity or collaborate with humans like a real coder.

The big picture: Human oversight and better AI-human interfaces remain essential as AI evolves in software development.

The stakes: Trust issues and error risks mean AI coding tools must be supervised to ensure quality and security.

Commenters say: Readers emphasize the gap between AI’s current capabilities and true collaboration, stressing the need for human involvement and improved tool design.
