This seems like a good enterprise use-case for AI. We had automated visual diffs at my last company, but it was very noisy. It did help to confirm my change didn't visually impact some other code I wasn't aware of, but we still had to write intelligent UI unit tests.

Writing those UI tests would save a ton of time, and if the AI can determine intent of the code change to correctly fail/pass tests that would eliminate all my debug work, leaving just the feature code to me. Hopefully AI doesn't take that away from me too ;)

I think we are still a bit of ways away from AI taking over debugging. From my experience playing with GPT it quickly starts failing if the questions get as complex as debugging an intricate problem.

However, if this can take some effort away from me having to do manual test plans, I'm onboard.
