You haven’t addressed the original question. The point is not whether the QA understands the codebase, but whether the QA understands its own test system.

If yes, the QA is manuallish (considering manual == no automate by AI) and we’re still bottlenecked, so speeding up the engineer was a loss for nothing.

If no, because QA is also AI, then you have a product with no humans eyes on it being tested by another system with no human eyes of it. So effectively nobody knows what it does.

If you think LLMs are anywhere near that level of trust I don’t know what you’re smoking. They’re still doing things like “fixing” tests by removing relevant non passing cases every day.
