I feel like everyone knows at this point that the only solution to “ai code review” is to just… not have a human review the code at all.

Every bad change here, that has been merged in the last 6 months, correlated with a lack of human review. Sure, someone hit the approve button, but it was done within 30 seconds of the PR creation time, clearly no review was performed. This is in repos that have deterministic as well as ai driven review CI checks.

And that doesn't even get into the "features" that were implemented without reviewing the design or requirements were actually hit (they were not).

I would love to replace all of these useless meat bags with more ai. But I would absolutely still want to be in the loop to review things.

The lesson I've learned about AI is that lazy/bad engineers without AI are still lazy/bad engineers with AI.

Okay, sorry, I don't know what I'm arguing anymore, this turned into a rant.
