1. So, current and immediate future limits prevent this beyond relatively small projects?
2. But like, you still have to write tests though? If I need to think and check what the generated tests are doing, I'd rather write them myself to be honest. I want the time-consuming parts automated, not typing code. Maybe I am in minority. Surely generating 99% complete unit tests should be some sweet-spot for ChatGPT? I would imagine this AI can ignore halting problem, and somehow traverse all possible states anyway?

Absolutely. Using LLM code without reviewing it is an even worse idea than accepting a PR from a brand new apprentice-level programmer at your company without reviewing it.
