This has been my experience as well, but there are plenty of assertions here that are not always true, e.g. "AI coding tools are sophisticated enough (they are not) to fix issues in my projects" … but how do you know this if you are not constantly checking whether the tooling has improved? I think for a certain level of issue AI can tackle it and improve things, but there's only a subset of the available models and of a multitude of workflows that will work well, but unfortunately we are drowning in many that are mediocre at best and many like me give up before finding the winning combination.
You omitted “with little or no supervision”, which I think is crucial to that quote. It’s pretty undisputed that having an AI fix issues in your code requires some amount of supervision that isn’t negligible. I.e. you have to review the fixes, and possibly make some adjustments.
