AI is helping people write code.  
Tests are one of those things that some people don't like to write.   

Can AI play a role in creating automated software tests?  
Well, yes. But it's a nuanced yes.  

Anthony Shaw comes on the show to discuss the topic and try to get AI to write some test for my very own cards project.

We discuss:

• The promise of AI writing your tests for you
• Downsides to not writing tests yourself
• Bad ways to generate tests
• Good ways to ask AI for help in writing tests
• Tricks to get better results while using copilot and other AI tools
