> Are you saying that you can write tests at the same speed as AI can?

I feel this is a gross mischaracterization of any user flow involving using LLMs to generate code.

The hard part of generating code with LLMs is not how fast the code is generated. The hard part is verifying it actually does what it is expected to do. Unit tests too.

LLMs excel at spewing test cases, but you need to review each and every single test case to verify it does anything meaningful or valid and you need to iterate over tests to provide feedback on whether they are even green or what is the code coverage. That is the part that consumes time.

Claiming that LLMs are faster at generating code than you is like claiming that copy-and-pasting code out of Stack Overflow is faster than you writing it. Perhaps, but how can you tell if the code actually works?
