I agree - at least with where technology is today, I would strongly discourage replacing human code review with AI.

It does however serve as a good first pass, so by the time the human reviewer gets it, the little things have been addressed and they can focus on broader technical decisions.

Would you want your coworkers to run their PRs through an AI reviewer, resolve those comments, then send it to you?



This feels like the right take.

Once we have an AI starting to do something, there’s an art to gradually adopting it in a way that makes sense.

We don’t lose the ability to have humans review code. We don’t have to all use this on every PR. We don’t have to blindly accept every comment it makes.
