All the problems you list are true, but the solutions not so much.
I've seen this problem with humans even back at university when it was the lecturer's own example attempting to illustrate the value of formal methods and verification.
I would say the solution is neither "get humans to do it" nor "do it before writing code", but rather "get multiple different minds involved to check each other's blind spots, and no matter how many AI models you throw at it they only count as one mind even when they're from different providers". Human tests and AI code, AI tests and human code, having humans do code reviews of AI code or vice-versa, all good. Two different humans usually have different blind spots, though even then I've seen some humans bully their way into being the only voice in the room with the full support of their boss, not that AI would help with that.
