> What would it look like if a tool like this was taken to its logical conclusion: an agent that could write unit tests for any existing code and get it to 100% code coverage. Not only that, it would have tests for every combinatorial code path reachable. Test files would outnumber human code by orders of magnitude. The ultimate pipe dream of some software developers would be fulfilled.
That dream is a nightmare. All code has bugs and that test suite would remove any "not bug" signals provided by the test cases.
Most if not all utopias turn out to by dystopias if you look hard enough.
