This is not true at all - I have been using the Pro level AIs to automate my 150k a year automation engineer job for over 2 years and have reduced my workload by about 95%, no joke (AI writes great selenium tests). This is a real, measurable amount of work - it used to be that you had to be pretty smart to write code and now anybody can vibe code an automation test framework in literally one afternoon. I know because I did it a few months ago for my new role. It is beyond game changing for the reason - I can only imagine what actually productive people are doing - this is a 100x productivity multiplier.

It doesn't even make mistakes anymore - the biggest issue is making sure it doesn't get lazy with the number of assertions

Cannot tell if you're a parody account or not[1], but if so, well done.

I cannot believe there is a 200k job to write selenium tests.

		well i am the only qa engineer i do all the cicd too and load testing - the company only had manual testing and I wrote the framework that we use today - but it is easy work yes - and it's 150k - um i guess i thought a bigger number would sound better

		There are 200k jobs fixing the “frameworks” AI-slopped into creation at the very edge of Dunning-Kruger competence, maybe?
