How Can AI-Generated Tests Actually Verify Code Quality?

Ask an AI to write tests for the code it just generated and you get tests that pass. That is the problem. The model has both the implementation and the test in the same context, so it writes assertions that describe what the code does rather than what the code should do, and a green suite becomes a mirror instead of a check. This episode is about structuring verification so the tests carry independent information about correctness, which matters more every time a builder ships code they did not write line by line.
