Titles like these make me always point out the obvious: A working state is the absolute minimum requirement for any code to be merged, isn't it? ...imagine to merge something even though you know that's not working.

Besides, this post has nothing specific to code produced by an LLM, and placing AI in the stated reasons feels completely arbitrary, or is rather a fallacy of our times:

- I reject [AI] code when I can’t explain the approach in my own words.

- I reject [AI] code when the diff is bigger than the problem.

- I reject [AI] code when it introduces abstractions before proving they’re needed.

- I reject [AI] code when it works locally but makes the system harder to reason about.

- I reject [AI] code when I’m trusting the output more than my understanding.
