AI code fix confidence scores are meaningless without verification

AI coding assistants often present fixes with confidence scores like 92%, but these are the model's own estimates, not backed by any tests. Stack Overflow's 2025 survey found 84% of developers use AI tools, yet 45% say debugging AI code takes longer than expected. A new debugging tool, DebugAI, introduces a verified field with three states to distinguish checked from unchecked fixes.
