The test code is written and checked by AI without humans needing to be the ones looking at it.

soooo wouldn't that be exactly the "deskilling" being discussed here, and isn't that deskilling concerning for money-handling firms?

having seen both (a) mission-critical human-built systems become nightmares for maintainability and extensibility and (b) bleeding-edge ai coding agents confidently and quickly fix a wrong problem in the face of an issue (or fix it in a slightly wrong way), I remain skeptical that this great de-skilling will all be perfectly fine.

of course, if you aren't looking at the code you won't fucking know until someone yells...

I've seen some terrible AI-written tests. You have to check that code too. You have to check all the code.
