AI is in like year 4 of being useful for the task. And it’s changing rapidly. We don’t know what it’s good for yet!
But pick a technology used to write code and you’ll see many of the same things. Broad unit test adoption happened more then 20 years ago and people still can’t decide what it’s good for or even if it is useful.
That’s because it depends on the circumstances of the problem and the person solving it.
So no, we can’t decide exactly what it’s good for and if we could there would be exceptions. But that’s not an indictment of any tool.
So the solution is to wait and not use AI until people have spent all their money and actually figured out what the real use cases are. Good to know.
Is that your approach to unit tests? If so, sure.
