If a test is worth having, it’s worth writing by hand.

Throw away mandatory code coverage tech debt instead of adding artificially-intelligent tech debt on top.

The best I can see a use for something like this is more like a linter than a test writer. “Robot, find weird things in the code and bring them to me for review.”

Then you write the tests yourself.

But this tool doesn’t know what is weird and what isn’t. What you’re talking about is something more like a fuzzer or static analyzer.
