Historically speaking, if an autonomous system found a bug [monkeys and fuzzers have done that for years ;)], you'd just get a "test failed" log. You'd still need to manually dig through the stack traces to pinpoint the "why" of it. Well, an Ai app can tell you that the system crashed or a button moved 5px to the left. But it still can't tell you if that movement broke the UX without a human explicitely defining the heuristic first.

IMO, the hard parts that actually getting solved right now is the autonomous serialization of state; context capture and issue repro steps to be precise (and definitely not the "finding of bugs" part).
