I agree with this.

If anything there will be less tech debt, because it's easier than ever to clean up.

Unit and end-to-end tests are free now.

Telling an agent to go through your code base and find bugs is free now.

Telling an agent to generate all possible user interaction to your API and then performance test it is free now.

Everything is so easy and takes much less time than it used to.

Not free because agents have a big tendency towards useless tests, so you need to verify them and make sure they're testing real things and the things that matter. I'll agree that it's a lot easier to generate thorough tests matching a spec, though.

Explain please. I might agree with discounted.
