That's true but LLMs are a massive time saver when generating unit tests and other useful things for your work, leaving you free to write what really matters.

Building useful tests are probably one of the things that LLMs are the worst at tbh. You end up with tests checking `2 * 2 == 4` and similar.

Having a LLM also generate your unit tests defeats the purpose of checking whether a LLM generated piece of code is sound.
There will always need a human on the end to check if the LLM didn't hallucinate anything on it, including manually writing the unit tests.
