It does? You mean "it tests itself faster", which is not really a test now, is it?

I use one model for coding and another writing tests for that very reason. It’s surprisingly good at TDD

I read that to mean you can arm it with a harness that you design informing the user that tests pass. A LLM can leverage this to run tests faster than I would run the same harness myself. You can then have any programmatic logic needed to support that usage sufficient to cover your use case and have a degree of certainty that the product at least passed those tests.
