Refactoring in my eyes is not only to move parts of a complexer function out of there, but rethink why the function was complex in the first place. This kind of refactoring cannot be automated.
I daily check my code for complexity of functions (automated) and refactor when I spot a candidate, because then, it's still fresh in my memory.
That sounds reasonable, and obviously not something a computer can do for you.
I tend to use the term 'rework' for that, while sticking to the traditional meaning for 'refactor'. But as long as all parties understand what is meant, that doesn't really matter 😄.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
