Isn't this just the natural evolution of TDD? Write tests, pass them, don't care about how garbage the code is to make them pass
But if the ai writes the tests and you don't read them, how would you know if that's 100 lines of assertTrue(true) ?
If it's stupid but it works it's still stupid and you're lucky
And, if you deploy/share it, you're both lucky and stupid. ☝🏼
Well, the luck'll invariably run out on that path, but the stupid certainly seems tenacious.
So, "red, green, refactor" has become "red, green, deploy"?
That's a change, for sure, but I wouldn't call it an evolution.
