Thank you, that makes sense. What I meant was that today all unit tests are basically written by an AI so the "cost" is almost zero. Am I wrong?

Sorry yes. If an LLM written unit test fails, then it has to be determined whether the test was wrong or the code was wrong. This is an expense in human oversight, unless of course we believe that LLMs will get it right at a high enough rate that they can be left to code everything themselves completely automatically.
