> Bots don't understand how their words can hurt people's feeling

That's a super weird way of putting it, which makes me hesitate to agree with you.

buuuut I agree that the LLM bot review experience is usually miserable, as the persona these things use is insufferable. It's a know-it-all only-speaks-in-imperatives thing, where the speaker lacks the actual merit that would grant them the right to that style.

LLMs can be very useful for code review, but the existing product implementations took a bit too many pages out of Kafka's works and are a bit too real in simulating a dysfunctional bureaucratic org.
