Not sure what you mean, boilerplate code is one of the things AI is good at.

Take a straightforward Django project for example. Given a models.py file, AI can easily write the corresponding admin file, or a RESTful API file. That’s generally just tedious boilerplate work that requires no decision making - perfect for an AI.

More than that and you are probably babysitting the AI so hard that it is faster to just write it yourself.
