> This is a known good state; write tests to enforce this state" is something that takes minutes now instead of days.

Pointing the AI agentic SLoC cannon at that sounds like a way to speedrun a set of tests that completely ossify the codebase.

Careless slapping down of tests feels great and looks good in the CI at first but a good test that only tests what it needs to do and leaves flexibility for maneuver is at least as hard to write as the code to start with.
