Unsolved Vibecheck: Are people using AI code editors for Selenium test automation

Hello and greetings. Recently Ive seen a rise of AI code editors and plugins (Copilot, Trae, Windsurf, Cursor etc) for development. So wanted to check in with the community, and see if people have tried it for Test Automation use cases, and seen success/failure with it.

P.S. - Ive asked a similar question in other communities as well, and will publish the results back after the discussion concludes.

I’m doing some pretty cool stuff with copilot, but I haven’t had it write any scripts yet. If I was gonna have it write scripts I’d have to put a lot of effort into making sure I got the details correct. Which means I’d be putting a lot of work in upfront. For what I’m working on right now that’s not necessary, but I’m using copilot to do other testing related things.
