Why only AI generated code? I wouldn’t let a junior or mid level developer’s code go into production without at least verifying the known hotspots - concurrency, security, database schema, and various other non functional requirements that only bite you in production.

I’m probably not going to review a random website built by someone except for usability, requirements and security.

I’ve seen hundreds of PR’s produced by a junior and reviewed by a mid lvl go into prod. I don’t see any problem with that

I didn't restrict my opinion to genAI code. I'm expressing a general thought that was relevant before AI. AI is just salient in relation to it.

I also said senior review is valuable, but I'm not 100% sure if you're implying I didn't.
