A recent study by Microsoft indicates that generative AI tools struggle with debugging code, failing to resolve issues nearly half the time. This finding highlights the limitations of even advanced AI models, such as those developed by OpenAI and Anthropic, in effectively debugging software. Experts note that debugging requires a nuanced understanding that current AI systems lack. While AI has made strides in software development, researchers emphasize that it is not yet ready to replace human developers for debugging tasks. In response to these challenges, Microsoft has introduced Debug-gym, an open-source environment designed to enhance AI agents' debugging capabilities by teaching them how to use debuggers, inspect variables, and analyze execution flow to address real software problems.
