      Unless you’re never doing new development you can’t automate them. The kinds of tasks I’ve used this for:

      • Making an HTML visualisation of some complex function inputs. One-off project. I could totally do this but it would take me way longer.
      • Formatting a complex and very long SystemVerilog file. There aren’t any existing SystemVerilog formatters (and certainly none that would handle the insane level of ifdefs in this file).
      • Writing a script to delete all Git branches at a particular commit. I only used this once.
      • Writing an Asciidoctor custom annotation. I don’t know Ruby so…

      You can’t automate any of those.

          You can’t automate these tasks without AI because anything that was capable of generalising to automating such a diverse set of tasks is AI.
