Wouldn't it be more efficient to convert the requirements these 200 markdown files into Playwright tests?

You could still use an LLM to write and extend the tests, but running the tests would be deterministic and would use less resources.

This type of thing so much.

AI is being pushed so much at work right now. For non-dev stuff even. The amount of things that people think are "awesome never seen this" is staggering.

Just because you haven't seen file format X converted to file format Y before and now you asked the LLM to do it and it worked, doesn't mean you needed an LLM for it nor that it's remarkable. The LLM knew how to do it because it learned from a bazillion online sources for deterministic converters that cost nothing (and have open source). But now you're paying, every single time, for a non-deterministic version of it and you find it cool. It's magic ...

But I guess they deserve it.
