> As I understood it the trick was effectively to dump the full public API documentation of one of those services into their agent harness and have it build an imitation of that API, as a self-contained Go binary. They could then have it build a simplified UI over the top to help complete the simulation.

This is still the same problem -- just pushed back a layer. Since the generated API is wrong, the QA outcomes will be wrong, too. Also, QAing things is an effective way to ensure that they work _after_ they've been reviewed by an engineer. A QA tester is not going to test for a vulnerability like a SQL injection unless they're guided by engineering judgement which comes from an understanding of the properties of the code under test.

The output is also essentially the definition of a derivative work, so it's probably not legally defensible (not that that's ever been a concern with LLMs).
