Yeah, that's what not so many are talking about but a few have pointed out; it's the AI writing wayyyyy too many tests causing the new CI load.

Unless you prompt them otherwise, the models tend to write WAY too many useless tests and in the most inefficient ways imaginable. This balloons test counts and lines of code to insane levels and frankly, likely, slowly makes it more and more costly for the AI to make future changes.. To the point it can't wrap its context around the code base and effectively make necessary changes.
