LLMs don't make bad tests any less harmful. Nor they write good tests for the stuff people mostly can't write good tests for.

Okay, but is aiming for 100% coverage really why the bad tests are bad?

    Aiming for 100% coverage is almost certain to cause bad tests, yes.

    But not all bad tests come from a goal of 100% coverage.

    In most cases I have seen bad tests, yes.
