That is quite unreliable. I would bet that your spec will be out of sync with the program behavior in no time.
The only thing that will work is to have non-llm generated tests. But writing those require thinking, which is what we are trying to avoid.

So chances are that a major part of the program behavior does not show up in tests.
So throw it away and rewrite from scratch is a just wishful thinking that the LLM marketing wants you to commit to...
