But the AI still can't replace you, it doesn't learn as it go and therefore fail to navigate long term tasks the way humans do. When a human writes a big program he learns how to write it as he writes it, these current AI cannot do that.

Strictly speaking, it can, but its ability to do so is limited by its context size.

Which keeps growing - Gemini is at 2 million tokens now, which is several books worth of text.

Note also that context is roughly the equivalent of short-term memory in humans, while long-term memory is more like RAG.
