> AI is excellent at tasks which involve writing quasi-custom boilerplate (eg. tests which require a lot of mocking)

I wonder if anyone has compared how well the AI auto-generating approach works compared to meta programming approaches (like Lisp macros) meant to address the same kind of issues with repetitive code.

The generation of volumes of boiler plate takes effort; nobody likes to do it.

The problem is, that phase is not the full life cycle of the boiler plate.

You have to live with it afterward.
