I strongly believe it also applies to the AI itself.
If the AI wrote the code to the top of its ability, it doesn’t have the capability to debug said code, because its ability to detect and correct issues has already been factored in.
You end up with a constant stream of “I see the issue, it’s: <not the actual issue>”, which is consistent with my experience of trying to have LLM’s debug their own code without basically doing the work myself and pointing them to the specific actual issue.
