The premise
Give the model an OpenAPI snippet and target RPS profile, get a runnable load script you tune for realism.
What AI does well here
- Produce a syntactically correct k6/Locust skeleton
- Vary payloads using example fixtures
- Add basic threshold assertions
What AI cannot do
- Know your real production traffic mix
- Set safe RPS for downstream services
- Replicate auth flows it cannot see
