Is the author suggesting that current AI tools are capable of:

If so, I'm genuinely interested to know what tools people are using that can do this.

Our experience is that AI will perform well if given a specific and well-bounded sub-task ("parse the JWT token and return a collection of claims" or "re-write this test using framework x" to extend the author's examples), but would still need a competent developer (junior or otherwise) to fit the pieces together and act as quality control.
