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) ?

But so what if it is, if it's stupid but it works it's not stupid.

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. ☝🏼

So, "red, green, refactor" has become "red, green, deploy"?

That's a change, for sure, but I wouldn't call it an evolution.
