What I’m trying to say is that they can generate many more hundreds of lines of code and comments than I can reasonably review. Maybe the comments do make sense they’re just five lines longer than they ought to be. Multiply that by 20 times and then add in 150 lines of documentation that is not technically incorrect.

Not to mention that the response to each review will come with its own set of new comments and new documentation. The ability of people to write things has exploded tenfold. You can’t out review the slop.

Every PR can be rewritten and re-architected on a whim.

Sure - but the volume is a separate problem from the quality of comments. Even if the comments were the best possible your complaint would still stand.
