Outsourcing testing to AI makes perfect sense if you assume that tests exist out of an obligation to meet some code coverage requirements, rather than to ensure correctness. Often I'll write a module and a few tests that cover its functionality, only for CI to complain that line coverage has decreased and reject my merge! AI to the rescue! A perfect job for a bullshit generator.
