They said it can write code. They never said it can fix code or debug issues.

That's like saying you can drive, bit can't navigate or park.

I have met people that dont know how to navigate with Google maps and its painful to be a passenger with them.

What do you mean? The brake is the left most pedal?

I drove a truck with four pedals in high school. Leftmost was the parking brake.
