I wasn't sure if I would but I agree with the points you made. I'm generally not for using AI but there are places it works great and as you said, stuff I don't want to do because it's tedius and mindless, well the AI is great at that...

One use I had today... Make all the fields on this record nullable and add these attributes to them. Done in seconds what would really have been at least 30 minutes of work. It's mindless and tedius but I didn't need to do it...

I don't think I would trust the AI to catch edge cases I didn't think about, but I get the feeling for you it's more that dealing with them would be super tedius and they are truly rare. Like an http server unable to create a socket... It's an edge case but realistically let it crash, well the AI can write some more graceful exit with logging I guess...
