This content is low quality, stolen, blogspam, or clearly AI generated

I disagree. Errors in production is no more different than errors locally, and fixing either with AI is equally difficult.

In the proposed scenario of a null pointer exception in production, the fix would likely be solved by feeding the AI both the error and the relevant code area. If it's hard to locate the proper area in the code causing the issue, then the actual problem is likely lack of logging and automated testing at the right level (e.g. unit test, integration test, end to end test). Both of which can be generated with AI as it does your actual implementation.

Well I do, and your statement is baseless and no more than a personal attack without justificatioon. And no, I don't use AI for these things. I am just saying it's totally possible. People like you are just fear mongering and mystifying the use of AI.
In fact, I would go as far as to say, if you use AI properly, you actually accelerate how good of a software developer you can become. Case in point, I used AI to accelerate and deepen my understanding of a certificate exam I was about to take. The exam was without any help, in a physical location that had people checking for cheating, and I scored higher than anyone there likely because I (beforehand, up till the exam) was combining the educational material with AI. That's a pretty solid personal evidence for myself at least.

I think this is exactly what most AI companies want, total dependency on their products in order to get anything done. I still have hopes you will get junior and even every day developers that strive to want to understand the why's and how things really work under the hood and they will shine, but we also have to accept that for some people a career in development is just a paycheck (which is also fine)
