Then you remove them and move on with your life? We're still software developers at the end of the day, my delete key works better than ever.
Also maybe I'm a curmudgeon but I generally at least mark-one-eyeball all the tests it's generating and tell it when it's being extra dumb.
I do. My experience has been that most people don't. And then the ridiculous tests become blockers for the agent as they believe the tests are enforcing "truth", which may not be correct post-evolution.
Anecdata, but most of the time when something doesn't smell right to me looking at genAI code, the root cause is ridiculous tests that made their way into the repo. And then the agents built up around it.
