I review AI generated test of AI just like I reviewed tests of developers on a team I was leading.

There is no “morality” when it comes to my job. Outside of my feeling morally obligated to give my employer the benefit of all my accumulated skills for 40-45 hours a week in exchange for the money (and in a previous life RSUs) in my account.

I feel accountable to my coworkers and customers to deal with them fairly and honestly.

What other moral obligation should I have besides my employer, coworkers and customers?

Cool. Then what you're doing seems totally reasonable to me, for what that's worth. My skepticism would be directed towards people who have AI write the code and the tests, and then don't do any further review. That, to me, is a sure path to "AI slop". But if you're specifying the desired behavior and reviewing the tests, then I don't see any problem with it.

No idea. That's up to you. Note that my comment above was intended to be descriptive, not prescriptive. Like I said, I'm talking about something that's purely a self-imposed thing. If you don't feel that same thing, that's totally fine.
