@michaelbolton Agreed, and even if it was, AI/ML for element selection is treating a symptom, not a problem. Of course most AI/ML in test automation is just marketing strategy anyway. tinyurl.com/4um7a4wc

No one ever sits in front of a computer and accidentally compiles a working program, so people know (intuitively, correctly) that programming must be hard. Almost anyone can sit in front of a computer and stumble over bugs, so they believe (incorrectly) that testing must be easy!

The eleven most terrifying words to a software developer are: "I'm from management, and I'm here to help you move faster"
