I think you're saying that you don't believe in the freedoms to use the GPL licensed test suite for certain purposes which are explicitly allowed by the GPL.
You don't get to choose a license and then add extra terms to it when you don't feel like it's up to scratch. That's something explicitly not allowed by the GPL license.
Where does the GPL say you have the freedom to relicense code or derivatives under MIT by fiat?
Isn’t having to stay under the GPL a very big part of the GPL license?

The first part of this sentence (where in the GPL) is unreached if the second part of it is unmet (relicense code or derivatives) which I contend it likely is. You're begging the question.
However:
> The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work
earlier:
> A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
It's that element that would be difficult to prove "work based on the Program"
Asking an LLM "here's a thing, rewrite it in Rust" is pretty clearly creating either a derivative work or a different form of the same work, just like asking a transpiler would.
