AI Coding: How Far Are We From Fully Autonomous Programming?

While AI coding tools demonstrate impressive capabilities in code completion and error correction, a new study reveals that AI still has a long way to go before becoming a true programmer. The research highlights challenges AI faces in handling large codebases, complex logic, and long-term planning, leading to hallucinations and errors. Improving AI-human collaboration, such as enhancing interfaces and enabling AI to better understand and communicate uncertainty, will be crucial. Ultimately, AI's role in coding will likely focus on boosting efficiency and shifting abstraction levels, rather than completely replacing human programmers.
