Because there are endless errors and problems that never gets fixed with AI coding. The reason testers ran out of things to test before was that developers tested themselves before sending it over, if you take a bunch of cowboy coders coding thousands of lines a day with no testing whatsoever before throwing it over to the testers you would say you don't have enough testers even if you had thousands.

But, that's my point :-)

Right. But even if the devs are doing unit-tests (which is all devs are supposed to do), they can still overwhelm a QA department.
We could never do this before. GGP claimed that we always could. I am disagreeing with that specific claim - "We could always overwhelm the testers".
