Just make sure you know best practices with scripting before using one of those. I checked that out a little bit and have had it write scripts that do extremely inefficient things (like doing single tag writes inside a loop). On a big enough SCADA that could cause chaos.

That's Gold right there!
In the end, I believe, at least for the next few years, it will be developers who know the Fundamentals, and use AI, will replace the ones not using AI, provided that AI is being used in that Industry.

Eh, I'd use that.
I do my coding in vscode with some help from copilot. If you point it at an intructions.md that says to use jython 2.7, you get pretty good results.
But... you then have to copy/paste everything to your actual ignition lib. That's where things get clunky.
I have plans for making some sort of script that will take a local folder and a container + project name, and will restructure and copy the local files to match the format used by ignition... But I haven't had time for that yet.
