A team uses generative AI to maintain a large regression suite. After a major refactoring, many tests fail because the application's internal APIs have changed. The AI suggests updating the tests to match the new APIs, but the team is concerned about the AI introducing incorrect assumptions. What is the best approach to ensure the updated tests remain reliable?

Accept the AI's updates without review because the AI is trained on similar code.

Use the AI to generate new tests from scratch and discard the old ones.

Manually rewrite all tests without using the AI, to ensure correctness.

Have the AI generate the updates, then run the updated tests against a known-good version of the application to verify they pass.
