This isn't what I was asking for, I'd like to see something like, "When tasked with X AI did Y" with breakdowns between simple bug fixes to standing up a monolith in a legacy environment.
I mean that you would have to test yourself. To me it seems like AI funnily enough has the same issues as humans, and that's that it works worse in legacy codebases full of tech debt, and in large monoliths.
But it can still be an invaluable tool.
