If I see a MR that has test cases included, I'll be more inclined to merge,
this is for sure.

Whether it was generated by AI or not is entirely irrelevant as far as I am
concerned. In the end it is my responsability anyway if I approve the MR.

That's a fundamental rule for me: 
The human doing the commit is the one responsible.

(Which is why I never let Claude commit anything)
