LSS: metaprogramming tests is not trivial but straightforward, given that you can see the code, the AST, and associated metadata, such as generating test input. I've done it myself, more than a decade ago.
I've referred to this as a mix of literate programming (noting the traps you referred to and the anachronistic quality of them relative to both the generated tests and their generated tested code) wrapped up in human-computer sensemaking given the fact that what the AI sees is often at best a lack in its symbolic representation that is imaginary, not real; thus, requiring iterative correction to hit its user's target, just like a real test team interacting with a dev team.
In my estimation, it's actually harder to explain than it is to do.
