If so, I'm genuinely interested to know what tools people are using that can do this.
Our experience is that AI will perform well if given a specific and well-bounded sub-task ("parse the JWT token and return a collection of claims" or "re-write this test using framework x" to extend the author's examples), but would still need a competent developer (junior or otherwise) to fit the pieces together and act as quality control.
