Running an experiment to see how well it handles documentation of code, meaning devs no longer have to split their time

Co-Pilot! Works well when you have good developers to drive better efficiency. Not to be used to reduce the number of developers or make better use of average developers!

We are currently exploring ways to help developers or testers by optimising software development lifecycle workflows using genAI tools. Some of the areas of exploration are:
1. Automatic documentation generation 
2. Automated functional tests generation, execution and validation. 
3. Automated filing of tickets in Jira and maintaining its lifecycle to its closure. 
4. Try to generate a boilerplates for standard frontend, backend, iac development 
5.  Automatically break a task into sub-tasks and create high level project plan in Jira etc.

I am interested in people who have tried generative AI coding projects.  In your experience, are there project attributes that make generative AI coding capabilities a "good fit"?  Are there project attributes that are likely indicators that generative AI will not result in something useful?  I would think complexity of requirements is a big factor.  If the complexity of the project or its requirements is low - I assume genAI coding can get you within the ballpark.  For instance, logic stores: if your project has critical business logic spread out all over the place and not centralized I think that generative AI would not be able to make sufficient sense of that.
